Grab your gumption and go with the flow!

When tumultuous storms shudder your heart,

When your gumption quivers and is pulled apart,

When the lump in your throat grows intense,

And you find yourself sitting on the fence!

When your wrenching stomach disrupts your mind,

And nefarious fate makes you blind,

When no one is around to lend a hand,

And your burdened legs find it difficult to stand...

When the atrocious clouds hide your sun,

To scathe your soul with their callous gun,

And nowhere in this world you find some light,

To enhance your vision, to help you fight...

In times of miseries when difficulties rule,

Pat your back and jump into the pool,

Light a candle that'll guide you along,

To help your conscience see the right and wrong!

However tortuous the way might be,

Stride ahead to set yourself free,

To build your courage firm again,

For no honest efforts go into vain!

Intimidate your heart to beat again,

Plan for better and just don't feign,

Survival comes not from spurious spells,

You need to work hard and ring the bell!

Rolling hills is the nature of life,

And yes don't expect it to be a blunt knife,

It brings you down and hurts at times though,

But you Grab your gumption and go with the flow!
