Bringing Back the Free Verse

I am a survivor

That is what I've done

No high school sports

My GPA subpar

Talents lying elsewhere

I fought off depression

Still live through pain each day

I can't compare to them

Their talents aren't mine

They worked hard

I worked hard too

Just in a different way

My talents arent visible

No one may ever know

To them I'm just "no one"

I've got nothing I can show

Besides the smile

Despite the pain inside

I wake up each morning 

No trophy in my hands

I made it down the hall

But never crossed a finish line

Fibromyalgia

My constant competition

A state game everyday 

Fighting not to cry

I may not look like much

But I have conquered all

My body fights against me

Yet I will never fall.
