When you think you've got me down,
and under your thumb nail, think again.
For I am stronger than that.
I will never forget how I saw a milkweed plant actually grow up through a paved driveway. I was only 4 years old, but for some reason, that image has always remained in the corners of my mind.
That's strength
and determination.
How can it be that something as seemingly small and weak as a plant, can push its way through compacted and hardened macadam?
I am also strong.
Do not underestimate the power of my will or the ability for me to stand strong under pressure.
I will always be like that plant.
I will not give up until the sun is shining on me...
For I,
am stronger
than you know.
