Rising alone

Self-reliance is a valuable asset When you're up against the world It can help you find your way in life And rise above the fray Being independent and strong Is a trait that will never go out of style

With a strong self-reliance, you can achieve anything

Persevere through the hardships and the pain

And don't let anyone stand in your way

To be self-reliant is to be content

In your own company, without the need

For constant chatter or attention.

It is to have a strong back and a soft heart,

To know when to give and when to take,

It's good to have both solitude and togetherness

To have balance in life

Rising alone is frightening, But it's also so brave.

You're forced to be strong,

You rise above the ashes,

And become a phoenix.
