Rise

Post by Closeyclo »

Rise.
When the pillars fall and the sky rains down upon your weary head.
Rise.
Start small.
A finger.
A hand.
Both arms up to the sky.
You'll find the strength.
You prayed for it enough times.
Don't waste it now you have it.
Show them how tall you can be.
The floor is only meant for things that are grounded.
But you were built for flying.
Rise.
Earn your strength from lifting yourself.
Claw your way out of the darkness.
Do not stop.
Rise.
Bring forward the qualities of everything that amazes you.
The tigers stripes.
The lions ferocity.
The eagles freedom.
Your big sisters strength.
Your brother's individuality.
Your smallest sister's kindness.
Be bits of everything that makes you wonder.
Rise, knowing you may fall again.
Know that though you'll fall from a greater height
It will hurt your body, mind and soul to hit the floor.
The view is greater from up there.
You wont regret it if you fall.
So rise.
A champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall.
