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.
