Courage unchained

Its not just success that shapes our fate, but the courage to rise, to navigate .

In a village green, where dreams took flight,

A young man sought knowledge, his heart alight.

He left behind the fields, the familiar embrace,

To chase higher learning in the city's fast-paced race.

With hope in his eyes and courage in his stride,

He ventured forth, ambitions open wide.

Through bustling streets and towering walls,

He sought the wisdom within those hallowed halls.

Yet the city's embrace was not so warm,

As he battled to survive, a silent storm.

In cramped dwellings, with meager meals,

His dreams of success began to reel.

Amidst the chaos of the urban grind,

He felt like a speck, lost in a bind.

A thousand faces, but none to call a friend,

The city's heart seemed cold, without an end.

He toiled and strived, day after day,

But life's burdens seemed too heavy to sway.

As debts amassed and hopes grew thin,

The city's allure wore a painful grin.

Back in the village, memories swirled,

Of days when life was simple, dreams unfurled.

He yearned for home, for fields of green,

For the warmth of community, so serene.

Yet deep within, a fire still burned,

A flicker of hope, a lesson learned.

Though struggling now, he refused to yield,

Determined to rise from this shadowy field.

He sought assistance, reached out for a hand,

From fellow souls who could understand.

And in their kindness, he found relief,

A support network to ease his grief.

Through hardship's forge, he was refined,

A spirit strengthened, a soul redefined.

With newfound strength and lessons gained,

He forged ahead, courage unchained.

And so the young man, with dreams held tight,

Fought bravely on through the darkest night.

For in the city's trials and defeats,

He found the strength to rise, to meet.

Though he struggled to make ends meet,

His spirit soared on hope's steady beat.

The village boy, now a city's son,

Found resilience in battles hard-won.

In time, he conquered the city's strife,

A tale of resilience, his journey through life.

For it's not just success that shapes our fate,

But the courage to rise, to navigate.
