For weeks I stood in fourth’s embrace,

A quiet hope, a steady pace.

Dreams whispered softly in the air,

Waiting patiently, unaware.



But passion fueled my every move,

A burning fire, a driven groove.

I shared my art, I spread my voice,

In every step, I made my choice.



Today I see the shift begin,

A second place,I fought to win!

From distant shadows, I arose,

A rising tide that boldly grows.



This victory’s more than just a score,

It’s hope that opens every door.

To fix my ride, to chase my dream,

To wear my art a living gleam.



So here’s to perseverance, faith, and art,

To pushing forward, making start.

Second place,a milestone new,

A step ahead, a breakthrough true.



With ink and drive, I claim my space,

A journey marked by grit and grace.

And in this win, I proudly see,

The power of persistence... victory!
