when your flesh is weak
and you want to give in
don't
when you've lost the will
and the resolve to fight
don't
when the mountains ahead
feel impossible to climb
don't
when the holes you've dug
feel like their caving in
don't

Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Could easily be paired with the other of my most recent poems - some encouragement, inspiration and just some words to say - I know and feel it too sometimes.
You can also take a look at the rest of my work here.
My debut book, The Accidental Poet, is out now on Amazon on Kindle and in paperback, here.
