You run from pole to pole
to not let hardships define you.
And yet they define you,
your indomitable spirit.
It wasn’t easy
but you have come out on top
they don’t know how it has been
and their sympathy you don’t want.
Your victories are yours alone,
you indomitable spirit.
—
I want you to run
run and win every race,
straighten your back
and climb every mountain
Break free & ascend,
you indomitable spirit.
And if you ever find yourself
looking back to take a breath
share a moment and be exhausted,
or someday just wanting to rest.
Turn around and you’ll find me, right there
I promise to your indomitable spirit.
—
And when life finally
would come to a close.
When the world would have paid you
all the love it owes.
I would break down and cry —
but I’ll wish you soar.
In life and in death,
none shall defeat
your indomitable spirit.
Love
Manik
