You said I couldn’t.
like you’d already
seen me fall.
I almost listened.
almost let your doubt
sit where my drive should be.
but I don’t carry
other people’s limits.
so I worked…
quiet, relentless, unseen.
and now?
I’m everything
you said I wouldn’t be.
not because you believed—
but because you didn’t.
so keep watching.
I’m not done yet.

You said I couldn’t.
like you’d already
seen me fall.
I almost listened.
almost let your doubt
sit where my drive should be.
but I don’t carry
other people’s limits.
so I worked…
quiet, relentless, unseen.
and now?
I’m everything
you said I wouldn’t be.
not because you believed—
but because you didn’t.
so keep watching.
I’m not done yet.
