Built to Rise

Clock hits pain, I grin back twice. Iron bars don't roll the dice.

Gravity's just fear in disguise. Treadmill shakes, heart drum's loud. I train my

muscles to never bow. Every mile's a line I cross. Every doubt a

fading loss. If life's a test, then grade me one.

I'll fight till the fight is done. Life can swing, I swing back
