Determination

In the rumble crumble circus of
Intensity and grit
It’s a jumble not to stumble,
Tell yourself you shouldn’t quit.
You may mumble as you grumble.
Try to make the pieces fit,
Staying humble as you tumble
From the highest parapet.

But persistence in this instance
Is the truest way to go
With a penchant for insistence
Striving hard to run the show.
While you take a stance to brave the dance
And test the afterglow,
With vigilance you can advance
Like falling dominos.

With resolve and pure conviction
And an unrelenting drive
There’s no level of affliction
In the world you can’t survive.
