AGAINST ALL ODDS 💪🏽🩸
I am a vessel of positivity
A refined state of mind
This state of mine will not define me
A will to survive, I thrive against adversity
Advertently not letting this disease decease me.
This is me! A sickle-celled being
Believing in all the possibilities,
Not stressed or pressed by what the outcome might be
For mighty is he who breathes life into me
So this blood loss inside won’t take the win(d) out of me.
Because of this disease
I’ve learned to see life through the lens of multiple opportunities
Elevated beyond this mindset
Still not set on failing me.
So I rise above the limitations set by this mutation
To conquer every citation
Written in medical history that I will succumb to my DNA orientation.
Defiance Not Acceptance
Though different I’m transcendent.
Birthed into independence,
This life pendent is no reflection
Of the person who stands before you,
My blood may be crescent mooned
But I illuminate like I’m immune.
I’m going forth with a new light and added energy
This enemy of mine was the beginning but not the end of me.
