Mental toughness
is an ever-evolving skill
a tool to be honed
every time you lace up your skates
sometimes, a night hits you
off-kilter
and you have to have a sit-down
over and over
until your voice cracks
and deep breaths don't fix it
These are the nights to remember
that breath alone cannot patch you
sometimes you must push at the cracks
even though they may shatter
because even if they do
you will still be standing
