i'm reaching

by Jessica Yen

I'm reaching
As far I as I can
I'm stretching
the bounds of my span

I'm crawling
Away from that which I lack
I'm pushing
the limits holding me back

Don't steer me away
From my potential
I'm ready for the highway
My mind is more than ample

Despite what you say
Regardless of all that stands
in my harmful way
I won't give in to the commands.

I will make it to the end
And then I will be
The one to commend
It's my chance, finally.

Stretch, girl. There's great strength and determination in this piece.
