Lift

Lift your head up, kid -
Don’t let anyone see
That something in and of this world
Got the best of you
Thank the stars
For your unconquerable soul
Thank God
For your unbroken spirit…

Laugh away the tears…
Drink away the sorrow…
These are just drops in a glass -
Broken glimpses of tomorrow.

Read the poem 'Invictus' by William Earnest Henley... 'Invictus' is Latin for 'Unconquerable'... I call upon it in moments of direst need, and it was the inspiration for this poem.
