A Thousand

A Thousand

A thousand strikes,

Forge your sword;

A thousand cuts,

Chisel your stone;

Ten thousand words..

Craft your story;

A thousand days,

Nurture your growth;

A thousand failures,

Bring you wisdom;

Ten thousand falls..

Yet you rise;

A thousand heartbreaks,

Bleeds your love;

A thousand deaths,

You can’t control.

Ten thousand lives..

Surround your humility.

A thousand pages,

Yet another blank page.

A thousand depths,

Carved with passion.

Ten thousand etchings..

To make you

You.
