Hit me hard, still i smile

Let the hard times hit me,so hard that I won't be able to yell..
I want to face them,feel them, become part of them..
Let me be strong, let me learn something.
Let me gain the knowledge and make my dream come true.
Don't want to live in a dream castle,
let it be my framed castle........
let me dive once, twice,thrice
till I learn to swim through it..
Don't want to be a bamboo tree
which shoots up a feet in night,
it should be a growth where
I nurture my every part.
Conviction should be so that
my thirst never calms down...

Still... smile will blink my eye with a tear of gratitude.
