Resilience

you may defeat me
but only just
you might beat me
but only just

it may be setback
but only just
confidence may crack
but only just

i will be afraid
but only just
courage may fade
but only just

'coz i'll resist
and retaliate
to give up easily
is what I hate

So you beware
it's only a matter of time
before you realize
the victory will be mine
