Triumphant
By GB
Going through struggles is a part of life,
So no matter what your endeavors are to conquer or overcome
Such resistance is up to you
Giving up should never be an option for yourself
Going through the struggle builds character
And then everyone will see how much you grew
You don’t do it for them
You do it for yourself
The achievement alone shows your strength
And that is the greatest victory
And once you reach that completion
Your success shall go further than you can imagine
What a life-changing journey
And one amazing story
Your adversaries shall be your motivation
To more victorious gaining in your new life
So love thy enemy
And forgive them for being antagonists
That’s how you conquest over your foes with kindness
And agree that’s a fine accomplishment
To handle conflict with your heart and not your fist
So once you reach the top of that mountain of peace of mind
Don’t lose it and so be alertly watchful to avoid trouble
Be a vigilante
‘Cause you made it to the end
You went through hell and back
And now look at you…you came out
Triumphant

HI GB,
Thank you for reminding us how important it is to keep going and not give up when things get hard. Your poem reminds us that we should never give up, no matter how hard things get, and that the process of getting through hard times can be a life-changing experience. I like how you stress how important it is to be kind and forgiving to our enemies and how this can be a big accomplishment in and of itself. It’s hard to forgive sometimes, but it helps us move on and heal from heartache. Again, thanks for reminding us to stay alert and not forget our successes once we’ve reached them.
