Standing Up Is the Hard Part

Standing up is the hard part

So much weight on your two feet

Moving forward into the world

Yet not knowing where that path leads

Standing up is the hard part

So many things you have to do

There are many goals to accomplish

And so many tasks to pursue

Standing up is the hard part

So keep standing and never get down

It might be painfully hard some days

But it’s better than being on the ground

TOo many times we fall face first

And are afraid to get back up

Too many times we let life knock us down

And we say we cannot and will not get up

Too many times we let opinions of others

Hold us down more and more

Too many times we didn’t rise up

Because it was just easy staying down on the floor

Standing up is the hard part

But it is better than defeat

Don’t let life get you down

Be all that you can be

And the times that you feel weary

And believe that you have no more strength

Remember that although your other option may be easy

The consequence is that in life you will never transcend

“If you are always afraid to get up after a fall, then you will never be able to progress in life. Standing up may be the hard part, but it also yields the most rewards. Continue to move forward in life and never let situations keep you down” –Monica Renata
