Ashes to Empire
I've carried loss like heavy stones,
felt cancer bloom beneath my skin.
The pressure pressed against my chest,but still I chose to rise and win.
Mrs. Cathy said, "Take care of you."
The doctor said, "It's fine to break."
I took a breath, I shed my tears,
then stood back up for my own sake.
I built my empire brick by brick,
wore Harvard's colors like a crown.
I spoke in rooms that banned my kind, and helped the lost become the found.
