In adversity and misery does my resolve take shape
Nerves are steeled and the mind made malleable to hope
The hairs stand still as a chill surges through the back of my nape
Nothing is beyond my reach and out of the remit of my scope
Blocking the naysayers and the relentless prophets of doom
Destroying all crabs in the container mindset i reach out to the sky
Seeking the yard that will dispel all gloom
I plough ahead but never asking why.
