Analysis of Overcomer
Overcomer
They counted you out .
They said you were the product of sorrow.
They isolated you.
But it was for the good.
In the storm you grew stronger.
In the crisis you became a Pearl, a precious gem.
You are an overcomer.
You are the song that is popular.
You’re an overcomer!
You’ve gotten over the
Obstacles
Vicious lies
Envy
Reality of walking alone
Critics
Oppression
Malicious haters
Egotistical enemies
Reality of never giving up
Because...
You are an overcomer!
