Just like a flower I stayed alive

I’d gaze at the stars every night and smile

The beauty of nature keeps me going

I’d smile without knowing how I got comfort.

I guess life has a way of making me happy

The joy in my heart is as big as the ocean

My hopes are nothing compared to failure

I feel lucky to see people care about me

Haha life’s so beautiful

Being independent at a very early age made me realize how strong I’ve become

And how strong I’d build myself

Sometimes I get tired of it all, but I keep going forward

Giving up wasn’t part of my plan in life

So I’ll keep fighting till I get there.

Oh mum and dad would be proud one day !

They’ve never given up on me throughout my struggles and challenges , I haven’t given up on them too…for bringing me up in such an amazing way .

Pouring out my heart in words is the best way i find peace with myself

Not having who to share your heart cries with is draining sometimes.

I call myself lucky to have friends who are family to me , my siblings too are the best thing I have
