I like how you opened and closed the poem. Emotional strength in both. I enjoyed this. Well done.

this was inspiring to read!
things could come together
if one stays focused on the prize
but only if the prize itself
was meant to be real

this reads solidly written
that it burns Gloomyblu

you don/'/t need someone to say great job
when it/'/s what you do!

But hey, great job, just the same!
Peace!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this! I like some of the choice wording to convey who you are, and what makes you tick. Well done.
