All that suffering, it broke your heart,
All that pain, took away your nights,
But look dear, it made you tough and hard,
All those times you swallowed the hurt,
And the time when the agony burnt,
Burned right through your heart,
You were moulded into something of value,
All the people who broke your trust,
The ones who trifled with your love,
Who you cared for deeply but threw it away,
For whom you cried for days,
They made you wiser and prudent,
The mistakes you made,
The failures and lost games,
The missed shots and wrong decisions,
Told you what was the right choice,
The days when the pain was too much to bear,
When you were surrounded by utter and desolate despair,
Times when you thought you were going to fall,
Have made you resilient and strong,
The moments when you felt alone,
Lonely in the surge of faces,
When you felt unloved and ignored,
You got through brave one,
Times have been hard and they may be so for a while,
You may feel breathless and tired,
You may lose strength or fall down,
Don't worry don't frown,
Take a break and catch your breath,
Collect your thoughts instead,
Slow down if you must,
To reach the end and brush off the dust,
But keep blowing the wind in your sails,
Because the day you stop and give up is when you fail.
