When you cannot do everything you desire
do what you can and don’t require
More of yourself than you are capable of doing
what’s necessary, only the things ensuring
You remain upright
Try to stay in the fight
never throw in your only towel
who cares if in pain you howl
Your determination to stay in the fight
Is the only thing keeping you upright
Adversity is good for me
building character others see
Perhaps they are fighting too
It encourages them to see what you do
When you reach your breaking point
slow down, think things out, and make life count
Adversity always opens a small window
Will you stand or fall? Only you know
