Resilience Poem by Gerald Opio

However uncompromising life gets, it exudes a relief somewhere.
It's always upon us to search for answers, hence seek for solutions.
The terrain might be so rough, but it might lead us to greater heights.
Pain is an obscurity, don't focus on it.
Envision yourself with your goal, as this is crucial to your progress.
The disappointments, failures, rejection and affliction are all part of the journey, never let them deter you or stray you from your path.
Resilience is a master piece act here, induce it.
Part and parcel of you it should be, wear it like a crown.
Affix it to your traits, never to detract from it.
In all your endeavors, always persevere when you come short of anything.
Derive strength from your shortcomings, as these are your only invigorators should you have none at the moment.
Whatever happens in life, occurs for a reason,
A reason we ought to seek for earnestly, the beauty lies in the hands of time.
As you search, life will always try to align you with what you deserve.
Only with proper discernment and forbearance can you reach your goal in life, with an act of spontaneity attached to it.
