Relationship with Adversity (Poem)

One day, I found myself in
A relationship with adversity
It came into my life by force
And turned it upside down
I tried to resist it, stop it
I fought with it, screamed at it
But it refused to budge
It battered me, exhausted me
It took away my joy
It shook my core, clouded my hope
I cried and begged it to leave me alone
But it just ignored my plea

I took a deep breath
I searched for my faith again
In the depth of my heart
And I decided to let things be
I looked at adversity in the eye
And I said that I know
You will have to leave one day
I know it’s only a matter of time
I know that this relationship
Can never be permanent
And one day, just like that
Adversity left me
Sunshine came through
The dark cloud lifted
Leaving behind a beautiful rainbow
