Resilience
I look at myself
I can't believe I'm still standing
After falling down on myself
Multiple times, hoping for the best
When I am on my knees
I run to my bestie
and I am free
Thanks to my best friend
I am back on my feet
standing tall and being me
Thank you my bestie

I am Lehansa and I am going to be a high school freshman for the upcoming school year. Writing and making music is something I love to do, and poetry falls into the writing category.
When I was in 3rd grade, I learned about poetry and wasn't fond of it until my 8th-grade year. In 8th grade, my English teacher chose to have us make a collection of poems for our project. I wasn't happy about it, until I started learning about the different poems and writing many poems. After I was finished writing my poems, I was and still am proud of myself. Nowadays, I still write poetry and my resilience poem is one of them.
This piece is about resiliency and what it means to me. When I am in a dark place, I honestly go talk to someone I trust and most of the time, it's my bestie because I trust the one who has been helping me for a long time.
I even have my own definition of resiliency that makes me remember it and can help others know its meaning. My definition of resiliency is getting back up after difficult times.
