Resilience

Success is admirable,

Heroes are great,

But greatness

Does not come to all

The exact same way.


Some are born

Under the right stars,

They soar—they achieve

Without striving that hard.


Not everyone’s as lucky

Some just get stuck,

Every time they rise

They just fall back.


Nevertheless,

They don’t give up.

They try again–

Composed and sane.

It’s something in their brain

That wants them to fight it out,

And give what it takes,

To turn their failure

Into a story of success.


Is there a virtue greater than resilience?
