GET UP AND TAKE THE STANCE

When you are broken 
The pains of life become unbearable 
Making you vulnerable 
You become unstable 
Unable to focus on the target 
Amidst your capability 
You start living in captivity 
If you don't use your agility.

Get up and take the stance
It's your chance to dance to life's music 
The tones are echoing from distance 
Disability is not inability 
When life hit you hard; hit harder 
Don't become a liability 
When you were made for the possibility 
Believe in your ability 
For dedication yields productivity 
Taking you from stagnation to your destination.

This is not a motivation 
Rather an inspiration or education 
Enlightening you to pay attention 
Because attention yields redemption 
If you don't know where it has been broken 
How can you restore or make amendments?
Pay attention to the signs so you don't sigh negatively.
