Life can be tough.
It can be,
violent and rough.
Delivering,
repeated blows.
With hits,
to our body,
mind and soul.
knocking us down.
laying us flat.
Sometimes,
it can be hard,
to get up from that.
Reduced,
into.
Life's,
punching bag.
It will take,
all the strength and dignity,
that we can muster.
To defend,
against.
these flurries of punches.
Absorbing,
the negativity.
Of blows,
thrown viciously.
We,
discover the source,
of our strength and stability.
learning to absorb,
and redirect,
the opponent's energy.
The underdog,
turned top dog.
No longer,
a target.
For the enemy.
No longer,
a punching bag.
But a warrior.
who stands ready.
