CHAMPION

(By Marotso Mukwambo)

Hey, I dedicate this one stanza to you Champion
You are one special Champion, Champion
Celebrate any small success that you achieve
It doesn’t matter if no one recognises but at least you do right?
That single POSITIVE DEVIATION you achieve in your most
challenging subject
When you aim at the bull’s eye in sports
When you silently condemn bullying
Walk straight to your mirror, look at you looking at you
Smile, smile champion and tap yourself on the chest and say
“Champion, I am proud of you, you made me proud”
Am telling you this because every choice you make makes or breaks you
Every choice you make makes you bitter or better
That very choice you make makes you a victim or a victor
YOU ARE YOUR OWN CHAMPION! SO-STAND UP!
