Resilience
My soul is crying to me
It is floating on this broken illusion across the sea
I want to break though these shackles , just be free
Keep on going this cage can’t hide the real me
Every step I take I feel defeat
Every moment is nothing but deceit
Every obstacle impossible to complete
I am struggling to continue on my feet
The reward may be sweet
But to my dismay this journey will never be complete
It is no ordinary feat
But history will repeat
Talk to myself at night
Try to muster up the might
Going to keep on this fight
Got to choose between flight or fight
Darkness around but I’ll find that light
Even in darkest times, even in the night
Too tired of fighting all my foes
Don’t know how but I am still hanging by my tippy toes
The battle grows close
Shadows have imposed
My joy has frozen can't take it no more
Can’t break them up with my laser eyes, I am not superman
Every feeling of quitting is my kryptonite
Can’t shoot webs to didge my problems, I am not spiderman
Every bright morning reminds of the dark night
Wish I was a character in a video game
I could fix all my bugs
Upgrade myself, a better world is my claim
No need to be a thug
Don’t feel pain don’t be the same
Be ruthless unretiring and keep going
Embrace this feeling and power the torch of resilience
As soon as I step outside
I clad myself in armor
A rustic shield
A blade with so much power
Suddenly I feel this power encircling me
Reborn as something new
I am your worst nightmare,
Cold and bare
Tears, fear and pain
The cycle continues all over again
I am filled with blood, scars and wounds
Got to understand life is rude
It kills you inside it makes you rude
It’s a never-ending marathon , always bluffing
Every second another revolution
Got to choose between problem or solution
Obstacle or opportunity
Spear , arrows , hammers trying to throw me off
Got to stay focused got to keep on going
Its easy they, all I need is dedication hard work
From smoke into smother
But I won’t give up because I am a resilient warrior

This is a more unconventional poem from my side that I originally started writing for a competition. Its almost catchy and rap like I feel but nonetheless I feel it effectively captivates the power of resilience and the strength it carries.
