Once beaten, twice shy
Broken wings can still fly
Some people won't just even try
I was knocked down but
with one arm, I took flight

Staggered in the air for a little while
Before gaining my balance
I almost believed their lies that
I won't make it beyond a few feet

A stitch in time saves nine
With the doubters, I didn't bother
wasting my own time

I straightway got on my grind
With a fully determined mind
I used their naysaying as gas
Now, I'm balanced above the clouds
Where they told me I will never reach

Now they are questioning me like,
how did you even do it?
I simply replied... By facing my fears
It definitely took blood and tears

But I couldn't back off
I'm grateful that my resilience is finally paying off
And I'm just getting started,
this is just the take off.
