It Is What It Is

When you are at a breaking point
It is when you acquire the source of your strength
That you never knew existed
When you are humiliated to the core
It is when you assess your well being
That you have taken for granted
Makes you question your purpose

Expand your horizons
Do not limit your theory
Cultivate your thinking
Do not be expose to gossip
Grow your growth
Do not be in stagnation
The purpose is clarified

When you have made it
It is when you realise what type of character you possess
That distinguish the kind of person you are
When you relinquish all the negativity
It is when you can absorb the positivity
That would lead you to success
Makes you relieved, doesn't it

Sibusisiwe, I really enjoyed reading your work. It is obvious, though, that English is not your first/native tongue. Sometimes the lapses stopped me short. Good ideas here. For example..."Do not be expose to gossip" (a great idea) should be "Do not be exposed to gossip," eh? So, check out your present and past tenses.
