A New Lens

Couplet “New Lens” 

 My blood, sweat, and tears. Every single drop.
 Yes it hurt but life doesn’t stop   
 The world kept moving and so did I  
 I was determined to continue to fly 
 Looking back now, it was a major blessing
 Came out of it better with many life lessons
 Protect your ear with positive friends    
and just like a new camera, you’ll have a new lens
