ADVERSITY

ADVERSITY

As difficult as it might be
I must fly in the face of adversity
Because it’s not like me

To let something keep me down
To bear a permanent frown
To feel lonely when no one is around

I’m never really alone
And I would never condone
An action I would not own

However

Sometimes the path becomes hazy
I become lazy
But before I go too crazy

I always return
(to my senses)

Ready to learn
(opportunities are endless)

And stoke the fire that burns
(no longer feeling defenseless)
