Resilience

“You may encounter many defeats,
but you must not be defeated.
In fact, it may be necessary
to encounter the defeats,
so you can know who you are,
what you can rise from,
how you can still come out of it.”

you may cut me with your eyes,
you may kill me with your hatefulness,
but still, like air, I'll rise.”
