Challenges used to call
relished
faced
Confidence would suffocate fear
complete
smothered
Positive would quash negative
fuelled
encouraged
These are the facets now discoloured
smudged
Traits within, long since trampled
buried
The rope of youth hangs near
trailing from the skies of my conscience
Climb it, I will
Pull myself up
Preserve my spirit
Soar
like I once did
