Lifes Tests

Fight after fight, challenge after challenge, test after test. While were in this life it will never stop, its inevitable, like the sun rising day after day. I feel weaker with every hit, yet ironically stronger too? I could be deemed as miserable or always looking at the negative, but without the bad we cannot appreciate the good and pretending everything is okay does not make the bad go away and does not serve any purpose. We must embrace all this life throws at us in ode to grow in body and in mind. Hit after hit yet I still stand with my head held hi, a presence surrounds me as if it was sent from the sky, my head may be bloody an my body beat an bruised, but something inside me still shines and grows everyday for darkness cannot shine in light but the smallest of lights shines in the darkness.
