Stand Strong

Every single step I take
Pushes me till I nearly break
Only one thing left to do
Believe that my heart is true

Falling down happens in life
That's all part of the strife
A battle within must be waged
Like a fine wine as it is aged

Learning is the key to struggle
A fall soon becomes a fumble
Pick it up and keep on walking
Not enough to just keep talking

Words are words, spoken aloud
They are muffled when in a crowd
So shine bright with actions bold
That shows a truer story to be told

Do what needs to be done for the moment
Have no regrets, no need for atonement
For if it comes from the heart, it is right
Let your essence shine ever more bright

Don't look back, not for one second
The road lies ahead, you are beckoned
Grasp the invitation with your hand
For now is the time to make your stand
