Do Not Give Up

Resilience …

I saw a bird with broken wings with a resilient look in its eye. It was unflappable.

When you fall, hitting the abyss

When you lose, everything just one step behind

When your hurt, everywhere from inside your brain

When you are being pushed, into the wrong side

When you are afraid, to stand up and speak

When your being judged, everything you know to be thought wrong.

Don't give up

Don’t let yourself bow — not when you're supposed to be standing tall

At that time you may bleed

You may be ignored — traumatized — lost

You may be fretful

You may be last

But when you keep on going — through all those storms

You realize that you are GOING to win

It could take three tries to three thousand but you WIll achieve triumph

You can and you will succeed

And then you will be celebrated-included-cured

So

Be Resilient

Because that’s being true to yourself
