Finding courage
26 in a fix, She moved to chase her dreams Little did she know It wasn't as easy as it seemed "I'll study, I'll work, and climb up," she thought Little did she know It would take a lot more than that
She would lay, try to sleep Rolling through the sheets Little did she know She had to thrive to just be In this foreign land, A land full of unknowns It wasn't just opportunities It had its highs and lows
"I will get through this no matter what!" she thought Little did she know It was slowly tearing her apart This happens, she said, stood tall and led Through all the pains of this foreign land All by herself
She's not the kind of girl You would randomly find She was not coal but a diamond, So very fine Not her beauty Or the shape of her body But the wisdom and knowledge she gathered Oh so mighty!
