If it was easy, it wouldn't have been a miracle!
If it wasn't a struggle, the success wouldn't be overwhelming !
If it wasn't a challenge, I wouldn't have fought
If I wasn't rejected, I wouldn't be strong!
If I didn't fail a number of times, j wouldnt have learnt how to stand firm!
If there wasn't anyone to throw stones of judgement at me, wouldn't have known to carry my shoulders up high!
If I wasn't heartbroken, wouldn't have learnt to wipe my tears!
If my fears weren't used against me, wouldn't have known to conquer them!
If life wasn't hard enough, wouldn't have learnt to cherish every moment of happiness!
If there was no storm, I wouldn't have valued the calmness of a sunrise!
But in the midst of it all, I rise!
