Bad is Good

“Where there is no pain, there is no gain. Suffering and sacrifice build scar tissue that will make you tougher and stronger.” ~Warrior

Bad Is Good

The key to rising up and having
A new attitude
Is to look on to “bad things” and
Change how they all are viewed

Something that’s uncomfortable
Must be looked forward to
Something that is really hard
Is something you won’t rue

Something that’s embarrassing
Should be empowering
Something that is not much fun
Should integrity bring

Someone who is an asshole
Should not be avoided
Confronting them is how your inner
Warrior is fed

Problems, struggles, challenges
I feel so grateful for
Luxury and comfort I
Now despise and abhor

Because I’ve sat and pondered how
Those things have made me stray
All those things have ever done
Is strengthening delay

Next time something sucks, is crap
Is gross, rough, “meh” or bad
DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE COMPLAIN
Roll sleeves up and be glad

Redefine and see the things
You’ve been told to not want
Those things society says that
Should stress, annoy and taunt

ARE ACTUALLY THE GOOD THINGS THAT
HELP YOU TO BECOME STRONGER
Don’t adhere to “bad is bad”
One single second longer

A Warrior Still

“If you’re going through hell, keep going.”  ~Winston Churchill

A Warrior Still

When a warrior falls
In the face of a test
There’s one thing they are
As they heal up and rest:

A warrior still

When an illness they get
Brings them down to their knees
They are this one thing
In the face of disease:

A warrior still

When they’re running on empty
And each step is a chore
Despite weakened state
They’re what they were before:

A warrior still

Regardless of how
The outcome turns out
The participant of
The battle’s no doubt

A warrior still

So when you are down
When you feel weak and broken
Let these five words
Be intensely spoken:

“I am a warrior STILL”
