Alive

Sometimes we seek out hardship and pain, Thinking that it will bring greater gain, For in the depths of sorrow and strife, We often find the sweetest moments of life. Our hearts beat fast and our souls come alive, As we push ourselves to the limit and strive, To find the joy that lies beyond the pain, And the happiness that makes it all seem sane. We see only what brings us pleasure and light, In the midst of darkness and the longest night, For in these moments of trial and test, We discover the strength that lies within our breast. So let us embrace these challenges and fears, And let our hearts be open and clear, For in the end, it's not about the destination, But the journey and the lessons of inspiration.
