“Life and the pursuit of dreams is a constant battle. It’s not a war we ever have to lose. We might lose the occasional fight but we rise up and battle onward. We are worthy of the fight, even me a man who thought he had no chance. I’m not there yet. But my precious Holly is rising from the ashes. There are many battles to come but I can do this. You can to. Let’s fight! Who’s with me!?“
I wrote this poem in answer to the following prompts:
FOWC with Fandango — Lure
Pensitivity’s Three Things Challenge — Promise – Skirt – Clouds
Your Daily Word — Nervy
We are Worthy
The Lure of a dream
The pull of desire
To reach the supreme
To light your fire
The path will be hard
Every day you’ll be nervy
You may even be scarred
But you are worthy
I won’t skirt the truth
My heads not in the clouds
I struggled with my sleuth
Now, were lifting fates shrouds
You just have to fight
And never admit defeat
Crawl on with all your might
One day your success will be sweet
We did it!
