Will

It can't be taken away from you,
will can make you who you are. 
The unwavering strength that allows
your body to continue when life becomes bizarre. 

Each of us builds are own power 
that we see fit. 
Based on our life experiences
so we don't fall down and quit. 

Cherish this important piece
that belongs to your core. 
When you feel confused or lost
to renew your soul and restore.
