Once I was laughed at, mocked, and scorned
By those who thought they had me torn
But little did they know my fire burned
And I would rise up and reclaim my throne

Through all their insults and ridicule
I stood strong, never losing my cool
For I knew one day I'd make them see
That success was meant for me

Years went by and I persevered
Their trampling couldn't keep me cleared
I worked hard, I learned and grew
And with each passing day, my strength I showed

And now, I stand tall and proud
My enemies, I leave in the crowd
For I have become more than they thought
My success shines brighter than any sought

They once thought they had me down
But now, I wear the crown
I've risen from the ashes of their hate
And shown them my potential, it's first-rate

So let this be a lesson to all
That ridicule and oppression can't make you fall
For those who strive and never give in
Will rise up, and be the real winners.
