Achievement is a journey, not a prize
A path we all must travel, if we're wise
Every step we take, we develop and learn
And the more we strive, the further we'll go
It starts with a dream, a spark in the mind
A goal that we set, for all to find
We work and we labor, day and night
With each step, we get closer to the light
We stumble and fall, but we rise again
For every setback, is a chance to mend
We learn from our mistakes, and we grow stronger
For every failure, is a step closer
And when we reach the top, and our goal is in sight
We'll look back and see all the hard work and fight
We'll know that we've earned it, with blood, sweat and tears
And in that moment, we'll conquer our fears
So let's strive for greatness, and reach for the stars
For every achievement, is a victory in its own right.
Angie.

I wanna let my pen bleed words to the world,
I wanna tell the broken to open with a reason for the season,
I wanna write light to your night,
I started the journey anyway....
I was blind about it,
I turned all way all round,
I was never told what I required,
I packed my bags and took the way,
I started the journey anyway..
Whirlwinds blew me,
My skinny body almost left me,
Unfamiliar and terrible paths I walked,
I cried when it got tough,
I took the journey anyway...
Here I stop to look back,
Here a beautiful way is created,
Here I write for you know,
Here I am is not where I was,
I am in the journey anyway....
The journey to success is faith, hope and action
Some stages are fearful, but you have to pass them,
I write to you for you are strong,
Strong to take your journey too,
Strong to hope that it's a good destiny,
Strong to start,
And so I write to you
Take the journey anyway

So I was told to shut up, that I shouldn't talk...
That when things go south, I should just watch...
That when am hurting, I should maybe smile..
That I should act blind when my eyes are wide open..
That my mouth should be closed when I am choking....
That I should agree always because no doesn't exist..
That I should always walk tall and never look down...
But Maybe....
I am short and need to tie my shoe lace,
Maybe I should say no, because it is a full statement..
Maybe I should see because my eyes are open..
Maybe I should open my mouth to grasp some breathe..
Maybe I should speak and call it black and white...
Or maybe I should write ✍️✍️
Or maybe I should just be anyway..

It is in writing where I go bare,
It is here I let you beware,
Scratch my head and pull the hairs,
Maybe this will make you care...
I put everything down clear,
And take everything up in prayer,
Maybe the atmosphere will allow the air,
And maybe I will not despair....
I hope it will not be a scare,
I hope you will not think I don't care,
I hope you realize it's not a nightmare,
I hope I will do this even with white hair....
It is in writing where I go anywhere,
It is in writing where I go everywhere,
I write to prepare,
I write to repair,
I write for you and me to pair...
I will write until there..
And If don't it's unfair..
I swear.

Accepting your real story can be hard but when you keep running away from it that's more difficult.
Owning your vulnerability is threatening, but giving up on what makes you vulnerable is more risky.
You can only realize your powerful light when you are confident to face your darkness.

Before you tell us to smile, look beyond to see the scars that brings a sad face
Before you tell us to fight, see the fresh wounds that reminds us of the same battle field
Before you tell us to understand, test the war in the mind trying to understand ourselves
With every judgment, there are things you wouldn’t understand
Our backs ache for carrying heavy pasts, we are just trying to stand upright
If you know how much effort we have put in, you wouldn’t dare put us down
We have fallen many times, but we never remain down
With every judgment, there are things you wouldn’t understand
Don’t make us feel out of place
Don’t make us hurt more
Don’t make us feel scared in the society we rightfully belong
Don’t make us fade within
There are things you wouldn’t understand

There are mornings of just being vulnerable,
There are afternoons of an imperfect you,
There are evenings of so much worry and fear of everything.
But there is waking up to embracing the solid truth.
YOU ARE BRAVE and WORTH OF LOVE.
You have to wake up to this.

The celebration of your birth just the other day,
You were young and enjoyed to play,
See how you have grown and the far you have come,
Is there a reason for you to keep dumb?
Your lives have become one.
The definition of this journey is the Father above,
Being the author of the expedition of love,
Your hearts have been trusted to build a home,
And, there is no room for you to roam,
Your lives have become one.
As you have chosen to vow to each other,
You are tied to be there for one another,
And, you can’t allow anything to be a canker
It is only Jesus that can be your anchor,
Your lives have become one
It’s the small things that make the big things,
Perhaps holding hands is not for the kings,
Saying “I love you” is to remember for all mornings,
And, evenings are not meant for ravings,
Your lives have become one
Doing anything will not be in the attitude of duty,
It is always in the spirit of joy and beauty,
Remembering that no one of you is holy,
But, Words of appreciation in your tongues be like candy,
Your lives have become one.
You decide to curve inside the song of forgive and forget,
Creating a nest for each other to jet,
A union of equal independence and mutual dependence,
Working your obligations in correspondence and patience,
Your lives have become one

When I utter commit, I mean to dedicate
First to Him, that gave my full birthright
And two to myself, the reason to create,
My commitment is my responsibility
I choose to commit, perhaps you may not admit
I want to melt my fears, thyself to acquit
Realize my valour, to knit again my grit
My commitment is my responsibility
I commit to trust my inner instinct,
Lest I stumble and be called extinct
I will teach me to always be prinked
My commitment is my responsibility
I commit my business to what is real
Perhaps people will get dull
Maybe I will find my answers in the baffle
And get busy making my now life blissful
For my commitment is my responsibility

When the clock is ticking,
The society can’t stop buzzing,
In the silence within
All these voices are breaking my head
The pressure is flowing
The longest time ever is waiting
When will I wake up from this dream?
Counting the steps to the finish line
Looking tired but hopeful to win
Walking myself to the goal
Deep inside the broken pieces are lost
The reflection of own face in the mirror is betraying
Anything sweet I knew have grown wings
Loneliness and anger has found a home inside
When I finally wake up
I would not wish to dream again
The dream gives but sweet memories
The reality no one knows
One day I will heal and smile again.
