The air is polluted with the dark shadows of doubts and fears,
Judgment echoing per second in our ears,
Listen, I pen this down to encourage the young and the bold,
And tell a tale of courage and stories untold.
The path you tread may not be clear,
Obstacles arise, but have no fear.
For every mountain that blocks your way,
Conquer it boldly, come what may.
The road to greatness is paved with strife,
But through it all, you will find your life.
Embrace the challenges, embrace the pain,
For it is in those moments, you will truly gain.
Let opposition be your guiding light,
Ignite the fire within, burn so bright.
For it is in the face of adversity,
That you will discover your true tenacity.
So, young hearts, remember this refrain,
Dare to live, let your spirit reign.
No matter the odds, the obstacles you face,
Dare to chase your dreams, embrace life’s grace.
Dare!
