They are the only ones who doubt me. I am the only who believes in me. One underrated player with unrealistic dreams and a drive to accomplish them all. One that does not get recognized but continues to work. One full heart ready to attack the world. In the gym you can watch her, but coaches continue to doubt her.


Their doubt is her strength. She drives off their stupidity. She gets up and they tear her down and grab her dreams between their sweaty palms and refuse to acknowledge her dedication compared to their own. This is how they teach.


I will never forget my reason for thriving, they’ll all drop dead before they admit their misdoings. Stay, stay, stay they say as I leave. They wish.


When I accomplished my dreams and am stronger than ever, when I am happier than ever, then I look at my doubters. When everything began to fall into place. One who grew despite rankings. One who fights and will never stop her fight. One whose only reason is to prove to all.
