    Nikita Gill
    “The thing I admire most
    about you
    is no matter how hard,
    or how much the world
    has tried to
    beat you,
    break you,
    destroy you,
    and throw you to the wolves
    you are still here,
    turning all your pain
    all your suffering
    into armor,
    into determination,
    into weapons
    and earning the respect
    of that same pack of wolves
    that were meant to rip you
    limb from limb.”
