Resilience Rewarded

From darkness rose life's bitter sadness,

Hope's light dimmed, love lost, no gladness.

Branded loser, deemed of no use,

Day and night toiled, refused to excuse.

Faced many defeats, stumbled astray,

Errors aplenty, success far at bay.

Yet in the end, victory found its way,

97% on exams, a message to convey.

Not just a score, but a rebuttal strong,

For those who scorned, belittled all along.

Transformed my world, a fresh start anew,

New session began, with jealousy in view.

Once critics, now fans, their envy plain to see,

The radiance within, the reborn me.

Proved them wrong, achieved what I set to do,

In the face of doubt, my dreams came true.
