Inside you contains an answer worth finding

Accomplished — so smile, without holding back.

Spoken by a heart still soaked in tears.

Battle-tested, learning purpose without a map,

standing as sturdy as life allows.

“Ouch” replaces “lesson” as if the word never existed,

and no matter how many times we repeat the test,

our eyes tend to fall before they turn upward.

A child carries no concern for circumstance —

that’s why every child feels free.

So I ask,

why do we ever surrender that freedom,

if we are all still children at heart?

Instead, fix your eyes forward without hesitation.

Celebrate the road you’ve taken,

for every champion needed their obstacles.

Embrace each step fully — it comes only once.

Love yourself first,

recognizing both the lows and the highs.

It’s never pass or fail.

It’s learn.

It’s grow.
