Turn around - Look you’ve come so far

So many setbacks

So many obstacles

You’ve travelled too far

Yet you think

You’re not fulfilled

Stop, look and think.

Look again

You will see

You are much more

Than what you think

You have come quite far

From where you had begun.

Very few can ever know

The battles you have fought

To come this far

The gaps and voids you lived with

You walked without help

Every step is a milestone.

It is easy to achieve success

When everything is handed over to you

Real greatness comes from the humbled

Who had no one to lift their head

Try running a race when you limp

Or flying when you have no wings!

Survivor, overcomer, victor

These are words you should wear

Inside your soul

They are embossed

No one can take away

Your victory
