The world will shatter your dreams
Step on your hopes
Spit on your hard work
And laugh at your failed attempts
The world will not slow down for you
It will not go easy on you
It will not be patient with you
It will swallow you whole
But don’t be disheartened
Don’t ever stop trying
Don’t let failures faze you
Pick up each broken hope and mend them
For no one ever succeeded without first failing
So, regardless of how many times you fail
Stand up, mend your wounds,
And go after that dream

I submitted this piece to a student publication I’m writing for and it was published a few months ago. This is, however, the unedited version.
