Don't Give Up ( a poem)

 

When the climb feels steep

and your heartbeat shakes,

when the road you’re on

is a trail of aches,

take one small step—

just one will do.

The mountain moves

because of you.

When doubts grow loud

and courage feels thin,

remember the battles

you already won in.

You’ve bent, not broken;

you’ve stumbled, not stayed.

You’ve walked through shadows

and still found day.

So lift your chin

when the world says “stop,”

for storms can rumble—

but you still rise up.

Every sunrise starts

in the darkest night.

Hold fast, keep breathing,

and walk toward the light.

You’re stronger than fear,

braver than luck,

and miracles happen

when you don’t give up.
