A Poet's Heart and Soul

I Will Overcome

The pressure is hard,

The feat is long,

I have not succeeded,

But I will not give up.

Time has slowed, I have to work hard

I clear my head, and raise the bar.

The pain is rough, the fire is strong

But i can not give out,

I must overcome.

Blood,

Sweat,

Tears,

Confidence is slowly fading,

The target moves further away,

My motivation is changing,

I'm not sure I can move on.

The pressure is building, it's difficult to breathe,

The pain is overwhelming, spots surround me,

I feel the ground getting closer, defeat is near,

But I must overcome.

I lift my head high,

I hold my breath,

I push my hardest,

I let out a scream,

and I have won.

Success is so sweet,

As i collapse to the floor,

A smile on my face,

And happiness in my heart,

I overcame the obstacle,

No longer impossible.
