The Game We All Play

We walk through worlds our minds create,
Each soul its own, yet bound by fate.
The game is one we all must play,
Each challenge shaping who we stay.

A test appears with every turn,
We pass or fail, yet always learn.
Failure stings but does not define,
For learning keeps the heart aligned.

Pain will come, it always will,
It carves the stone, refines the will.
Do not turn from what you fear,
Growth is waiting, always near.

Pain is the seed that blooms success,
A truth that few will yet confess.
For those who see through trial’s guise,
Will stand among the ones who rise.
