Relentless

Difficult

Unpredictable

Easy

Painful

Playful

Wonder-filled

Ever changing

Life

Relentless

In what it throws at you

Embrace the good

Brush off the bad

Push down the desire

To give up

Ignore pain & grief

Ignore time & tiredness

Ignore the mirror & scale

Not reflecting your effort

Ignore the voices telling you

“You can’t”

Wake up

Pull yourself up

Step forward each day

Keep moving

Jump over obstacles

Or bulldoze through them

Celebrate little wins

Manage thoughts within

See your target

Know it’s yours to win

Stubbornly

Determinedly

Limitlessly

Face the challenges

Life throws at you

Regardless of how painful

Knowing without a doubt

You have the ability to be

Relentless

In what you overcome
