Challenge Yourself

"Challenge yourself.
Colleges like to see AP classes."
What if "challenging"
Is a normal level class?

"Challenge yourself."
I already face challenges,
And not always ones
I want to have.

"Challenge yourself."
I learned about empolyment
And what happens
If you're let go
And no job is available.

"Challenge yourself."
At 12 years old
When the government
Took my home.

"Challenge yourself."
Learn how to negotiate,
So you don't have to pay
5 months of rent up front
To potential new landlords.

"Challenge yourself."
Fight anxiety,
ADHD,
And bipolar everyday
Just to get through the day.

"Challenge yourself."
I don't need to take some
AP classes to challenge myself.
Aren't I challenged enough?
