POETRY: WE ARE NOT OUR PROBLEMS

image of a poet writing

By Onoja Dorcas

Some would say “life is only as hard as you let it be”
And maybe it is.
But life is also as hard as it should be.
Our problems aren’t our enemies.
The real enemy is us.
Do we fight our problems or do we let them fight us?
Do we sit back and let them beat us?
Lol, yes sometimes I do.
Sometimes I’m not sure how to fight back.
But I realize every day that our problems create room to improve, upgrade and see things differently.
They make you realize you can rise above anything.
They give you hope, they give you reason.
