Progress

Not regress

By VilPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Progress not regress

It's hard to come by but it's what we need to do

Maybe in a certain sense anyway

No matter how you look at things, try and remember

The journey is what brought you here

Where you started and where you'll finish doesn't matter

Keep on fighting and running towards your goals

Hit those milestones and when you do

Reflect and remember what you did to get there

Take a look in the mirror and recognize the new you

Undefined by our past, it's what you do now that matters

Some will break under pressure and so might you

But stay strong because you've made it this far

Darkness is always lurking waiting to drag you down

It could be easier that way through an evil

But true strength is seeing the light even in the pitch-black

True strength is reaching for it even when you feel you're not enough

True strength comes with progress

Make the impossible in your mind a reality

Make those dreams come true
