There's nothing in this world that can hold you back from your own life's progression. Remember that

Trials of today is part of our growth that will later help us reach our ultimate destination.
Not everything will come to you with ease

Endurance along with persistence
The two things we'll mostly need
It is a prime key factor in achieving goals set

The one who is brave, not phased by fear is the one that will vanquish
the tallest concrete wall
making what was once foggy and difficult, clear.

You're worth more then what you think
God put you on this earth, he gave you the gift of life
And unlike us
He never makes mistakes

A beloved and deeply cherished poet recited:  

"When we come to it
We must confess that we are the possible
We are the miraculous, the true wonder of this world
That is when, and only when
We come to it."

-Maya Angelou

Words that will forever be a positive reinforcement on what we
On what
YOU
could truly be.

God blessed the soul that gave me the courage
To write what I feel
To feel
God blessed the soul that paved a way
For people like me
For the woman who taught
That there is no one like me
God blessed the soul that opened the minds
Of more than can count
The soul that opened the eyes
Of the blind who felt
But could not see the way
To this world
This world of emotion
passion
feel
God blessed the soul that paved the way
God named her Maya Angelou
And she paved the way
Rest in paradise, Ms. Maya Angelou. You gave hope with your words, and I can only try to do the same as well as you one day.

As a woman.
As an African American.
As a poet.
I can only hope to be,
As close as a
phenomenal
woman as she!
