PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You persevere
Not because you want to live, but because you're alive.
You fight
Not because you want to win, but you have to defeat yourself.
You breathe
Not because it keeps you going, but because it gives you hope.
You sweat
Not because you're exhausted, but because you're trying hard enough.
You bow
Not only because you're giving respect to them, but because you're exactly where you're meant to be.
You're a martial artist,
Not because you chose to be, but you were supposed to be.
You teach
Not because you know, but because they don't.
You fall
Not because you are foolish, but because you desire.
You expand
Not because you think, but because you absorb
You drive
Not because you must, but because you lack
You see
Not because you saw, but because you feel.
You're a martial artist.
Not because of luck, but by obligation.

Learn. Love. Grow.
