You are stronger than you look
Beautiful even with the scars
Of yesterday battles
Don’t worry or groan
Of victories yet to be won
Be assured Of the trophies yet to arrive
They are rare Fit only for the best
Life is not always fair
Put aside your fear
And be of a calm mind
Why die in pretense
When love surrounds you on all fronts?
Sometimes, the joy you seek Is right at your door steps
Courage can unlock your limitations
Victory comes with some risks
Wrench free your mindset And dare to be you
The one you seek to be
The joy you desire
May not be far if you dare
Waiting to be yours
To set you free from your mind
