Questions of Strength

Am I strong enough to rise above To leave offenses down below And squash excuses as I grow Look misfortunes in the eye Doing life, right by their side Am I brave enough to not look back To not sweat the things I’ve done Or sleep away my time with sun To keep on moving through the storm To never slouch, losing form Am I good enough to make you proud To make the world a better place And not just fill an empty space To be an asset, with a purpose And find the substance, ‘neath my surface
