Overcoming Hardships


The first is at birth It begins with a human being The slap prompts the lungs to function to fight for the reward called life, despite this, you'll still have to go through strife Doesn't discriminate regardless of race or religion, age or gender The struggle is as old as time since man vs darkness As long as you live it lives to make life strenuous, hardships are onerous It's like the eternal bad friend with ominous intentions It's like life's test to see if your worthy for excellence There's no instant spray for this irritating pestilence It manifests itself in all situations Its known by many names, but the game never changed, It could be the harbinger of death, the developer of stress, the ultimate testament we all endure to achieve success Dress yourself in the armor of preparation because a battle with hardships can begin with no emotional consideration See your potential through your visual opticals Traverse through the treacherous path if there's no path optimal No matter the might of the mental tussle or the height of the emotional struggle your destined to overcome any possible obstacles Fret not for there is a reward at the end of the tunnel Whatever it may be the accolade is yours to label When you claim the accomplishment you can exhale the toxins and say I overcame you hardship
