You can spend years
taking the blows,
the debris hurled your way,
and endure it.
though it gnaws at your soul,
you persist.
Until one day,
you can't.
in that shattering moment,
you fall,
broken.
As crippling pain
begins to devour your very being,
you'll reach out,
you'll begin to climb,
and that, my dear,
is when you discover your strength.
There is peace and beauty
in the overcoming.
Just Stand.
