The Warrior within Me

I’ll stumble. I’ll fall. Again. And again. But hear me loud— I rise. Not with ease… but with fire in my eyes. I’ve tasted the dust… Felt the cracks in my soul. But breaking? No. That’s not my role. Let the night try to blind me. Let the shadows pretend they own the road. But I — I am the lamp that burns bold… even when the wind screams no. As long as this heart beats, As long as lungs pull breath, I’ll stand. I’ll fight. I’ll defy even death. Destiny may dare me. Try to bend my spine— but I’m carved from the promise that I will never decline. Struggle… is not my enemy. It’s my identity. It’s the soil where my roots grip deep. It’s the vow that won’t let me sleep… until I’ve climbed— until I’ve shined. Don’t quit. Don’t hide. Struggle is life walking right by your side. So walk on, with steady stride… Because success? It’s just waiting on the other side.
