*Working Hard*

Working hard isn’t loud.  

It’s the 5am alarm when the world is still dark.  

It’s calloused hands, tired feet,  

And a heart that shows up anyway.

It’s the tea seller sweeping her stall before the market wakes.  

The student with one textbook and big dreams.  

The father on two buses just to get home.  

The coder debugging the same line for the 10th time.

Working hard is faith with sweat.  

It’s planting seeds today  

That you may not sit under,  

But someone will.

It’s not about never resting.  

It’s about resting, then rising again.  

It’s about doing the small things well,  

Until the small things become something big.

And one day,  

The late nights turn to light.  

The “no’s” turn to “yes.”  

The struggle turns to story.  

So keep going.  

Brick by brick.  

Day by day.  

Your hard work is writing a future  

That laziness can’t read.

What kind of work were you thinking of? I can make a version about school, business, or a specific job if you want 💪
