Equations of Life
In the algebra of dawn, I rise, unknown,
Solving for strength in variables of stone.
The slope of my path, steep, undefined,
Yet I graph resilience in the curve of time.
Each step, a fraction of the whole,
Denominator heavy, but I divide the toll.
The constant change, a factor of fear,
But in the limit, I find hope near.
Integration of days, both joy and strife,
The sum of trials, the calculus of life.
Exponents of doubt may try to square,
But my resilience multiplies everywhere.
Through matrices of choices, I navigate,
Finding solutions that time can’t negate.
Though life’s equations twist and reform,
In the function of struggle, I stand transformed.
