My mind was clouded,
I can't do it,
I push myself and try,
See, I can do it!
The happiness!
The sense of achievement!
It's building my self-esteem,
Oh! the positive sentiments.
I am taking the second step,
this time against the tides,
Maybe I am still new,
and scared of the heights.
I will fall and tumble,
I will try again,
I will not be disheartened,
and there will be campaign.
I will not be alone,
I will not be helpless,
I will not crumble this time,
O! queen of the spineless.
A desire like fire,
The fight is on,
Not to survive but to win,
From dusk to dawn.
