On the day I graduated a lone star shone brightly
With honors and triumph that seemed unlikely.
In the face of discrimination I held my head high
As I alone embraced this achievement with pride.While others graduated without any strife
I battled biases throughout my life.
My strength, hidden behind Autisms veil,
A power, within that could never fail.Being the recipient of such a grade
I earned this distinction despite the parade
Of doubts and prejudices that tried to sway
Yet undeterred I persevered every single day.Their paths were free, from disdain
While I wrestled with enduring pain.
Magna cum laude, a crown
Worn amidst discriminations critique.This special day of mine shines bright and true
Born from struggles they couldn’t. View.
May it stand tall as a testament clear
To resilience against odds.Voting is open!
