Pride

Take all of your bad days, wear them like a badge of honour

place them on a pedestal, under spotlight, they made you stronger

all the failures, the setbacks, that scuppered you in your tracks

for you survived all the things that tried to break your back

Take the upset, the rains that swept through your cloudy brain

the tears that crept, as your heart leapt; broken from so much pain

put them in pride of place, don't hide them or feel disgraced

the knockbacks faced didn't leave you out of the race, or too far off pace

Take the hurt, the moments that you felt no worth

when all you wanted was to be swallowed whole by the earth

take the memories that made you cry

oceans of tears; you thought would never dry

stand tall and think of them with pride

for you never ran to hide, you walked with purpose in your stride

Thanks For Reading,

Peace & Love.
