Experience

you never know how strong you are until you are forced to be strong, bob marley told to me

you never know how to know until you learn it all on your very own, my mother said to me

you never know how to be better until your edited, an a*****e once yelled at me

and nature she keeps telling me

no animal makes it out of this jungle, quite alive

so by any means, you take your chances

to rise again 

by any means, you do the math

that keeps you breathing

to see the sun rise again once more

and again and again before it ends

by any means, until you can't

and by any means, you do one more...

as just a letter in one alphabet

that writes in one language

that takes more time than anyone of us has

to stay alive

until an end

it takes a strength 

no one knew they had

to see one letter further

to feel the fire

alive and kicking

you take your chances

until you can't
