Little Deaths of Greatness

Those little deaths that we all face, Shape us and reveal greatness with grace. Each challenge met and hurdle cleared, Makes us stronger, wiser, and revered.

Through pain, struggles we shed our skin, To reveal a new version from within. We shed the skin that no longer fits, And rise again, bit by bit.

The old version of us is left behind, As we embrace the new and what we find. We shed our fears, our doubts, and flaws, To become the best version without pause.

Each death, a steppingstone to greatness, A chance to rise, grow, learn and harness. As we shed skin and reveal a new form, We become us through life’s raging storm.

For those little deaths and all they bring, Are the catalysts that make us sing. Let shad our version, over and over again, Until we shine like a diamond in the rain.
