"Rise Even When It Rains" Poem by Nicholas Storms

Rise Even When It Rains

I learned early 

that the sky doesn’t wait for you to be ready 

Clouds will formulate together like a pile 

And storms come uninvited 

But me?

I rise when it rains 

Every rain drop is 

My calling to keep

pushing through.

I move when the world 

freezes I pray to Jesus 

The storms I needed 

Not because I hate 

The weather but 

Because there were my 

Mentors to navigate me

through firm obstacles. 

Each step I take is my

Destiny to fulfill my 

Goals. I never froze

I stood on my toes 

and kept my composure 

On the low. Sprinting

towards the light 

Cause the future bright

As the sun sets it turns night 

I might just take that hike burning

Calories like it’s on sight 

Feel the pressure in my soul

stood on business never felt 

cold. Kept the faith so high and 

Still goal driven I’m grinding my way 

And I do this for a living.
