Conqueror

Conqueror

Life is not always rosy, beautiful and easy breezy. Sometimes it’s rough, ugly and very hard. It feels like there’s no way out and the tears and sadness just wouldn’t go away. But; 

I will conquer this because I am built for this.

I will conquer this because I am stronger than I will ever know.

I will conquer this because I cannot give up.

I will conquer this because I have to stay positive.

I will conquer this because I am not alone.

I will conquer this because God is with me.

I will conquer this because the task ahead of me is not greater than the strength within me.

I will conquer this because it is the only way.

I will conquer this because I have faith.

I will conquer this because with every hardship comes ease.

I will conquer this because this too shall pass.

I will conquer this because I have to.

I will conquer this because I’m a survivor.

I will conquer this because I’m a conqueror.

  1. A lovely and motivating poem! It reminds me to keep going and not give up, which is a message I need to read write now. x

    1. Thanks Laura. We all need that encouragement and reminder from time to time. Glad I could help 😬
