i’m from the blood, sweat, and tears…

by philip blystone

i’m from the big hill where my house lies

from the running alone at night workouts.

i’m from the early mornings

from sleeping so little to conquer my goals.

i’m from the loving family that always has my back

from the gym that makes my muscles weak and my body cry.

i’m from the long days and nights focusing to make my family proud

from to taking care of grandparents

and listening to their amazing stories.

i’m from the same house since birth

from the long days and nights.

i’m from the small group of friends

from the nights skipping parties

just to get ahead.

i’m from the doubts everyone had of me

from playing in France now

to giving back.

i’m from the hard times of giving up and breaking down

from conquering my fears and becoming stronger by the day

“work hard in silence, and let your success be your noise” 
that's what they say.

i’m from these experiences a person who won’t stop till he reaches the top

from proving everyone wrong and making myself the best I can become

don’t stop, never give up, learn from your mistakes, and smile

“let your light shine” 
that’s what my grandma would say.

i love you.
