Hey Readers!
I wanted to take another opportunity to personify what it means to let defeat win over accomplishing your goals. I know without a doubt that life doesn't make things easy, especially, since everyone's struggles differ from person to person. I truly hope that this piece inspires and strengthens someone who needs it. Take care of yourself, all. Love and peace.
A moment spanned
Into an hour too long
Of worry and confusion
Making everything appear wrong
The same effort given before
Didn't seem so meaningful
And all of the glimmer from the flame
Wasn't as passionate again
The heart, indeed, feel so tired
It seems that each moment dragged
Particularly longer than the rest
This feeling was Defeat
It sprang the eyes in tears
It caused the surface of old fears
The day started to blend into one
When you give no time,
It can appear you weren't to run
To exceed the limits of your dreams
When you make Defeat a friend,
It can keep you from that passionate flame
All over again
The memory of keeping it around
Made the spirit get back up from the ground
The last time
Dreams cried
Passion wept
And just like that, a voice speaks in that heart:
"This is only the start of new passion and art,"
It came like a sweet fragrance
And lifted the soul
"Not again, Defeat, for this I know,"
Resolve swept in like a favorite song
"I can't let all of my efforts leave and be gone,"
Unlike before, the heart began to strengthen
It formed like intricate gold
Thoughtfully and carefully breaking a mold
The spirit, anew, felt so revived
That it caused a spur of magic
To grow and thrive
Never allow yourself to falter
Even if it seems impossible
That passion, the art
The goals you and from the start,
It all starts with you
And so, remember this:
Defeat is a fleeting thing,
I believe in what causes you bliss
Strong and sure,
The soul knew it too
That Defeat is not a friend
You place your world into
Make your biggest of dreams
Come true
