This Time

For the time you were weak

for the time it was too tough

for the time that you felt

you weren't strong enough

 

For the time you gave in

for the time you gave up

for the time you sat down

when you should have stood up

 

For the time you were scared

for the time that you failed

for the time you surrendered

but could have prevailed

 

For the time you held back

for the time you hid out

for the time you were silent

but wanted to shout

 

For the time you said no

for the time you said yes

for the time that you settled

for less than your best

 

Do it because you didn't

do it because you would't

do it for the time

you told yourself you couldn't

 

For the time you were brave

for the time that you tried

for the time you came back

to reclaim your pride

 

For the time you endured

for the time you achieved

for the time you had faith

when it was hard to believe

 

For the time you excelled

for the time you surpassed

for the time you hung out

feeling like an outcast

 

For the time you forgave

for the time you were free

for the time you let go

of all your hostility 

 

For the time you were confident

for the time you were right

for the time you were victorious

after choosing to fight

 

Do it because you did before

do it because you can

do it because this time

you know you can do it again
