Why Resign? Poem by Connie Tallada

When you are feeling down and almost giving up
And you feel like the sky almost touches the ground
When all you have s tiredness and have no space to laugh
When it feels like you can't go on with another round
Breath a little don't take things too seriously
Smile a little think of your dreams and your family
You've gone this far why surrender so suddenly?


Why mind the rain when you are already soaking
Why think the life outside when you came here solely
Why let your emotion conquers your whole being
Life is a test loaded with adversities and fears
For sure in this place you've already feel like nobody cares
Maybe you've already asked yourself why you're here
And somehow you've already felt that life is too hard to bear
Why pity yourself when you have chosen this path
Carry on, Be still, think of the sweet aftermath


Challenges are made to mold us and make us grow
Learn to endure the pain and continue with the flow
Why quit when many are striving hard to take your place
In a long run you've already sacrifices a lot
Be lucky enough to be included in this few chosen faces
You are now threading a clearer line that started with a dot
Your goal is now nearer and clearer than a silhouette
Hold on tighter some more and let your dreams so be it

*dedicated to my fellow soldiers
