REMEMBER YOUR GREATNESS<br /><br />Before you were born,<br />And were still too tiny for<br />The human eye to see,<br />You won the race for life<br />From among 250 million competitors.<br />And yet,<br />How fast you have forgotten<br />Your strength,<br />When your very existence<br />Is proof of your greatness.<br />You were born a winner,<br />A warrior,<br />One who defied the odds<br />By surviving the most gruesome<br />Battle of them all.<br />And now that you are a giant,<br />Why do you even doubt victory<br />Against smaller numbers,<br />And wider margins?<br />The only walls that exist,<br />Are those you have placed in your mind.<br />And whatever obstacles you conceive,<br />Exist only because you have forgotten<br />What you have already<br />Achieved.<br /><br />Poetry by Suzy Kassem
