To Slay Life's Dragons

"Every struggle in my life has been a lesson and made me stronger" - Constance La France Sometimes I find myself at war With obstacles that life unleash And I enter the battlefield To defeat them, or die trying. I go deep into the trenches To fight all of mine. I meet the obstacles head-on... I fight my way in And out of them with faith and grit. When life's dragons come Breathing fire and baring their fangs I unsheathe my sword And face them. I've stared down many mountains... Imposing and towering some may be, Yet I claw my way to the summit. I refuse to let any obstacle Standing in my way, giant Or infinitesimally small, Get an upper hand. I've felt life's vicious hook on my chin... Though knocked flat on the ground, I did rise, and I'm still here I don't retreat from the hardships Nor surrender to them, neither should you. Slay all of life's dragons Standing tall. Writing Challenge - "V" Forms Poetry Contest Sponsored by Constance La France Inspiration with a theme of - Introspection Date written: 11/22/2022
