Stroke of resilience

An old self-centered poem, but words I think alot of people with that stubborn stroke can relate to. (The important part is the last 4 lines.)

Why must I re-verse my words
Why must Time bring out my worst

These questions
All answered
Those words
Already said

Despite an Icarus demise
After a Promethean task
Despite my wings clipped
After a lightly-worn mask
After a leap of faith
After a now enlightened mask

I'll stand smiling
Bathing in falling honor
I'll stand gleaming
Bathing in fallen's blood

For I made a promise
Not long ago

To show my own gods
That their death was not my own

But a rebirth
And so I take their rose crested throne.

If you feel cheated in life, by the "gods", then let me give you some words to keep in mind. At one point that feeling of life being unfair turns into spite to the forces and "gods" that have taken away what you love. This healthy spite makes it so you would protect what you love from the unfairness of life. And at this point you will also realise

If we are truly their children, then we must submit to the notion that children are meant to be better than their parents

Author's Note

I hope you can take my words and apply them to your own life, or take something from it. If I can help even one person find happiness through just words, I will feel successful. At somepoint I started to ask if I'm alone in my thoughts, but I've realised we're all mortal. And that we all share troubles. We're different because of how we deal with them.
