Slings of Arrow
Dean Traylor is a freelance writer and teacher who writes about various subjects including education and creative writing.
I
You hurt
You struggle
You take the slings
Of arrows
But you come back for more
Even when
The odds are
Stacked against you.
II
Strength doesn’t come
From brute strength
Alone
But from a will
And
Determination.
III
So, take those
Slings of arrows.
Pull them out!
And keep coming back.
To show your true strength.
(for Garet).
