Beneath this Ice
Coated edges and closed eyes
My stories will grow
Where my flaws couldn't go
Beyond the things
That elude your view
Births reasons
For the light tomorrow
Beyond failures and myths
Beyond fights and fists
I'll tell my story
My sacrifices and sorrow
Pains and smiles
On this part of the equator
Are birds of the same colours
But different feathers
My names will light up things in streets
But they will never know
How much I've sacrificed
Or how I've died so many deaths
Beyond stories and lines
Beyond success and smiles
Lies ridges of painful strokes
Dug on my back; a different story

Note
The poem is talking about the struggling, hustling part of the writer which people don't see. The successive ending stanzas talk about the anticipated success.
