Resilience

poetboy5454

Doesn’t matter if it's plausible, we will succeed

Because if it is possible, we’ll do the deed

Together, nothing is impossible, this is our creed

Only by standing united will we ever be freed

 

None of our dreams were destined to come true

Morphed into nightmares, this day I shall rue

Every hope I’ve ever held near the flame of my ambition

Wilts and blown away into ashes doomed to perdition

 

Flying high, held up by burning determination and iron conviction

Every time we fall is only a chance to rise and become an inspiration

Failure is simply a testament to our hard-fought, bloody victory

Sail past the untethered lightning and roaring thunder across this stormy sea

 

Doubt and fear pierce our hearts as we crash and burn

Unable to pick ourselves up, our fate has taken a dark turn

Success now a forgotten dream, our lives brought to the brink

Darkness comes to claim its prize and drags us below to sink

 

Doubtless there’ll be dark times ahead to thwart our goal

Regardless, they will pale in comparison to our determined souls

We believe in something greater than greed, that we live to feed

Our hopes and ambitions that we need, that is why we must succeed

No fire can burn us, we cannot be drowned

No silence can stop us from making a sound

No cage can keep us from speaking our mind

No chains can hold us back from the victory we try to find

  • Poetic Dan

    My soul will walk tall
    Singing our song
    More united I feel
    After reading your words

    More than outstanding, words do not fit when passion is shared just like this.
