NEW DAY
Written by Unyime Etim

I wake up stronger than yesterday, braver than today,
trying to brace the storms as the day comes.
Knowing that I’m built tough to face the sandstorm
regardless of the trials and temptations
that present themselves along the way
as I step forward.
My attitude is win-win-win,
even though my dreams may seem a little extreme,
almost impossible to achieve.
I launch triumphantly into the break of dawn,
confident about every move I make
as I embark on my journey into a new day.
