Everyday

You will be backed into a corner. Put your fists up and maneuver yourself out of there. Everyday you will be pushed onto your heels. Use your arms to regain balance. Everyday somebody will spit in your face. If you can't dodge it, spit back. Everyday your knuckles will be scuffed. Wrap them and continue forward. Let the scars be a reminder of battles won. Everyday you will have fear to open your eyes. Fight the fear for a moment and let your pupils take in the world. Everyday the weight of the world will be on your shoulders. Push back with the thought that they'll get stronger and be able to handle it better the next day. Everyday you will see something that will make your legs turn to Jello. Tighten them up and let the time pass, they will harden to stone. Everyday your heart will tremble. Take a deep breath and let the chambers of the muscle return to normal. Everyday your stomach will turn. Let it untie itself. I am Baliwala. Time waits for no man. Not even me. That is all.
