[Free Verse] Tips for Getting Lost Skillfully

I want to change who I am right now.

Many people wish they could be stronger individuals.

In fact, I am,

a cowardly person,

who has held onto that thought for a long time.

But,

even such a coward,

can learn to act with audacity.

The reason is,

whether or not you have become resilient.

Having been struck many times,

and each time,

whether you have managed to crawl back up.

Because I am used to being beaten down,

I have gained the confidence not to despair.

Therefore,

even if people think I'm a glutton for punishment,

that confidence is what matters.

Confidence,

is not something you gain by reading ten thousand books.

Take action,

and while repeating many failures,

even so,

it is born from the few victories you have earned.

Even if you lose,

at the very least,

even if it is a draw,

whether you are moving toward your goal,

that process is also important.

If you take action, you will also get hit.

You cannot keep going unless you are resilient.

If you do not endure, it will end.

That alone is something I hate.

Of course.

Getting hit is a painful thing.

When you are having such a painful experience,

as a human,

doubt arises,

and you lose sight of the path.

That is precisely why,

At that moment,

muster your courage,

and attack first.

Sometimes, defend.

If necessary, run away.

Once you make up your mind to go with this,

rather than being lost,

you will become far stronger,

and won't be shaken even if you take a few hits.

Don't make excuses.

Come on,

shake off your hesitation,

and head forward.
