you will have victory
be strong
when you want to give up all you’ve fought for
when all the doors have closed and no more are
opened
just wait for one more
focus your eyes on all of life’s beauties
among the tragedies, injustice and bleakness
search for something worth discovering
don’t let your strength lose to your weakness
when darkness is cast upon you
for seemingly no reason or purpose at all
embrace what it is that you’re given
and rise up after each dispiriting fall
when you’re feeling empty and lifeless
filled with silent screams
remember that life continuously flows
we are all from different paths
yet flowing into the same stream
when you are frail and shaken
don’t forget you’re protected
from the pitfalls of isolation
and in the outcome
endurance will replace solitude
while despair will submit to your fortitude
and faith will dominate that pessimism
and nothing can wrest your optimism
when you trust and try and trounce the blows
and believe while inside you are bleeding
when you fight as a warrior against your foes
and stop following and start leading
you will have victory over anything.
