Dependency,
built from repetition
of harmful behaviors,
stains the mind—
shattering the need
for self-reliance.
We slowly lose
the muscle it takes
to carry responsibility
without eyes
searching for help.
Denial grows louder
each time we reject the truth.
A true warrior is shaped
by their own battles,
their own belief
rising through struggle.
But how can we grow
if every hardship
makes us look
for someone else
to lift the weight?
Treating lessons like burdens
turns gold into coal.
Just surviving obstacles
won’t teach us
how to move through them.
Facing the same issues
over and over
won’t bring breakthroughs.
It only breeds fatigue—
the kind that feeds complacency.
So dig deeper.
Into the soil
you’ve never touched—
rooted in your heart—
to unlock the hunger
for wisdom
and expand
your belief in
