Fight Hard

In life, it's like at war,

You don't give up because you're afraid.

Whatever your choice will be

You can always expect two things,

It’s either success or defeat.

Sometimes, you want to move forward ,

But you feel something holding you back.

You see the path but you don't know where it leads ,

You are in difficult situations ,

And your choice becomes giving up.

Let me tell you something,

The best solution is not that you give up,

Don't let the appearance destroy your power ,

Believe in yourself ,

And fight for that change you want.

Sometimes life betrays you

And you can't stand it.

Life disgusts you,

The world disgusts you,

And everything becomes your enemy.

Don't lose your courage ,

Turn the page ,

Start a new line ,

Reshape your journey ,

And do it

Till you achieve your goals.

Sometimes, you look in front of you

And there are hundred obstacles

That you don't see how to overcome;

Your life seems like a dilemma

And you can't stand it.

Face your fears,

Don’t run away.

Give yourself time to think,

Analyze what is stopping you ,

And don't let it ruin any of your dreams.

If you have an idea,

Fight hard ,

And make it become real;

Don't let what they tell you

Is your weakness

Take away what you got.
