A poem by Joyce Alcantara

You may see me struggle 

but you won't see me fall. 

Regardless if I'm weak or not 

I'm going to stand tall. 

Everyone says life is easy 

but truly living it is not.

Times get hard, 

people struggle

and constantly get put on the spot. 

I'm going to wear the biggest smile 

even though I want to cry. 

I'm going to fight to live 

even though I'm destined to die. 

And even though it's hard 

and I may struggle through it all. 

You may see me struggle...

but you will NEVER see me fall.
