I’m only half the woman I should be

I need more. I deserve more. I need more out of my career, I need more education, I need more. I need more than just okay. I’ve come a long way. I left my home, my country at 19. I’ve worked three jobs while studying, I’ve paid for my studies, rent, bills and car. Ive still managed to obtain good grades despite overworking my body and brain. Along the way I have suffered under some men games. I have missed my home my mother my family, I’ve given everything I had. I’ve cautiously taken chances, believed in humans, help the other, It’s only fair I deserve more. I just don’t know how to get there right now. Chance has nothing to do with it, nothing to do with my life. I’m ready to keep struggling until I’m there. I don’t want to be half the woman I can be.
