Grit Through Storm.

A poem to get you going against the tide.

As life becomes hard,
Don’t you dare leave the yard.
When it puts you under strain,
Remember, it’s an opportunity to train.

When all you want is to quit,
It’s time to show some grit.
When emotions give you a beep,
And there’s nowhere for them to keep,

Don’t bury them inside,
But for this, always make sure you hide.
Life’s a catastrophic ride,
Lucky are those with someone by their side.

This is a message for everyone to cling to hope during tough times and to never give up. Yes, life is hard and may seem meaningless at times, but it is precisely this perceived meaninglessness that should motivate us to give life meaning. The battle is worth fighting, for the end result is a stronger version of yourself, with hardships and scars serving as the medals of these battles.
