Although

An emulation of the poem “If” by Rudyard Kipling

Although you stumble, rise again don't stop,

Though fears a player it won't override;

Though anger is an impulse you don’t stop,

Although the odds the progress is in strides:

Although the criticism bides as you advance,

Your fruits will show your story not your voice…

You can’t give up no matter the circumstance;

You’re too far in to leave it’s not a choice!
