Potential

The hammer held hovering over my head

You have so much

Apply yourself

As a teenager the words moulded me

Into a superior student

Praise was rare

Potential a common word

From teachers to parents

And a dream formed

University...

Life had other plans

And between then and now,

I have grown, survived, and strengthened

Potential is my friend these days

I know my abilities

I know my muse

And between the two the stories grow
