When things seem darkest,

and others say "Give in!"...

 

when the nay-sayers threaten to

drown out the hope within....

 

ignore the distractions,

consider them lies;

 

no one but you

can make dreams realized.

The way to getting stronger

feels a whole lot like getting weaker;

 

don't believe the illusion, and especially

don't quit moving forward!
