When life hits me in the face 
Hard, no questions asked, 
Will I still have enough strength 
Not to fall apart? 
Will I push it all aside 
Tell myself: “So what? 
Certainly, it’s not the end 
Of my whole damn world!” 
Everybody at some point 
Feels like they have failed. 
It is part of growing up, 
Not of being ashamed. 
Will I find the strength to stop, 
Knowing it’s in vain, 
Blaming endlessly the cause 
For my angry pain? 
Will I just get up one day 
Feeling free and swell? 
I do hope that “yes”, but that 
Only time will tell.
