Curses are blessings,
Trials and tribulations are testing,
Your resolve and how to solve,
Problems people and the world can cause,
To grow and evolve,
That's the real point of it all,
So whenever I fail and fall,
No longer fear sneers and scrutiny,
I used to be paralyzed by what others could do to me,
Sticks and stones may break bones,
But I can heal and kill with my poems.
