“All oblivious to my dreams, and to my state of struggle:
some would greet me, smiling at me.
But some laughed the hardest, laughing at me.
Some would express pity,
while some expressed sympathy.
Some would pretend that I wasn't even there.
And those who ignored me equalled my presence to that of the debris.”

The struggle is part of the challenge, and I have rent that is always due.”
