Life is going to beat you up
Grind you to a pulp, chew you up and spit you out
So you better get tough
Not physically tough, not the tough that makes you think
You can kick anyone's ass in the room
You need to develop the tough that really counts
Mentally tough, emotionally tough
The kind of tough that will get you past your own doubts
And fears
And whatever other twisted, insane, sick self-defeating bullshit
That you'll throw at yourself
Because everyone who tells you that you are your own worst enemy
Is right
And if you don't learn how to defeat the demons
That dwell inside your soul
Or at least dodge their best efforts to hold you back
Keep you down, stymie your best efforts
You will die inside a thousand times
Before you ever die outside
Learn this truth, commit it to memory
Tattoo it backwards on your chest
So you can read it every time you look in the mirror
Because the only person in the room you have to beat
The only person in the room that can hold you back
The only person that can contain you
Is you
