A prick, a sting, an ounce of pain,
A struggle is never without a little rain.
A block, a wall, a barrier to you,
That dreadful sense of being blue.
And when the chance of giving up comes crawling by,
I hope you'll answer no with this resolute reply:

Some things in life are easy and simple
For you, for me, they hardly cause a ripple.
A click, a stroke, a charming smile,
And it's all over before a while.
But what's a journey without adventure?
A sky without sun, an eyesore for sure.

Some things in life are hard and frightening,
Have determination and persevere,
The reward is greater for those deserving.
And if you are still a bit unclear:
Achievement without effort is empty,
To give up now would make me sorry.
