Life is a very beautiful journey, but comes with trials and lessons that we have to learn. It is a journey where we face happiness and sadness, success and failures, laughter and tears. We face new adventures to overcome.
In the second stanza of the poem Edgar tells us to keep fighting even if you see darkness, even if you see future is dark. He says even if the worst happens, have a hope that you tried at least and who knows you may win someday. Running from it will definitely not save you, he adds. Edgar personally fought with problems from a very young age. His father died when he was only seventeen. He did not complete his education due to financial crisis and started working at the newspaper. This struggle open a new way for him and made him a poet.
In the last stanza of the poem he says that even if the hope seems useless and darkness surrounds you from all sides, do not back. He motivates us by saying that you are not the only one facing these problems. Others also might have faced. You may fail, you may fall but you are still fighting. “Never give up” the poet says. So face everything with eyes and head high. “See it through” with hopes and faith and success will be yours.
When you're up against a trouble,
Meet it squarely, face to face;
Lift your chin and set your shoulders,
Plant your feet and take a brace.
When it's vain to try to dodge it,
Do the best that you can do;
You may fail, but you may conquer,
See it through!
Black may be the clouds about you
And your future may seem grim,
But don't let your nerve desert you;
Keep yourself in fighting trim.
If the worst is bound to happen,
Spite of all that you can do,
Running from it will not save you,
See it through!
Even hope may seem but futile,
When with troubles you're beset,
But remember you are facing
Just what other men have met.
You may fail, but fall still fighting;
Don't give up, whate'er you do;
Eyes front, head high to the finish.
See it through!
