The building and recognised efforts,

To pick up and follow through,

I see it and long for the end,

But the journey is full of ups and downs,

I want comfort in this discomfort,

Happiness in the midst of pain,

Love in the fear that ensues,

I'll bring it all up and see myself,

As a woman of note,

A woman of joy,

And more so,

One who is at peace with who I am.
