Strength That Pulls You Forward

A strength that pulls you forward,

Toward the edge of extreme harm

Yet you’re ready to get hurt,

For the fire inside you is your arm.

As you scale the cliffs of doubt,

And leap into the flames of desire,

You shatter those myths that hold you back,

Embracing the risks that inspire.

 You feel a rush as the world fades away,

Breathing in as the voices hush— Your life's game is on display.

You move forward with a steady hush.

Calmly, deliberately, you tread your path,

No need to blur your vision with fear.

With confidence as your compass,

You trust that your goal is near.

 You think to smash the competition,

But then you pause and take a breath,

Swiftly and peacefully, you navigate,

Choosing growth over bitterness and death.

 You gather all that divine knowledge,

Unlearning past grudges that bind,

Accepting what is real and true, You free yourself from the chains of your mind.

 You will fail, You will fall, You will cry,

In front of them all,

But that does not decide that you will break

No, that one dream should not die.

 You are not made of titanium,

 But that does not mean you won’t polish that diamond—

 That one diamond inside you that waits,

Waiting for you to take it out and sharpen it,

Polish it, until it becomes one of your priceless blades.

 It's within you,

Close your eyes and reflect,

 On the laughter of joy and the tears of pride,

For that one thing that will give you your respect...
