Hard Times

Sometimes, it’s the hard times that blind me from the possible positive outcomes the future beholds… But damn…sometimes it’s like I get so tired of always being let down, that looking forward to things is nothing but a childhood feeling that has grew old But thank you hard times, for you made me into a better person….or stronger perhaps…feeling more than ready for whatever may happen… Mainly because I now find myself accepting adversity. Anticipating the natural high of overcoming a challenge It’s just crazy how hard times always seem to have bad timing.. You finally get the breathing room to pick yourself up…get things together …you are knocked right back down again… It’s just a constant cycle of falling down and picking yourself back up again And I shall continue fighting until I won’t be able to fall again Feels like I’m Taking 10 steps forwards to sometimes get pushed 5-8 steps back…. And Even though hard times can make the weak fold…It also creates strong and bold individuals who refuse back down from any negative attack… Hard times can be whack…but most of the times when I just pull through and fight…it turns out to be worth the struggle… That is why I feel that no matter how rich I get…I will always be able to out do the other man…because I have a mentality beyond making an average hustle… Because I too know what it feels like to struggle… Scraping dollars…trying to make ends meet, while also trying to budget enough food to barely eat Just because Hard Times wants to come knocking at my door, doesn’t me I have to open it …to just to lay victim to an embarrassing defeat Sometimes spoken words can be the herb for a heeling deep within.. Thanks to you hard times, it is because of you that I have to get this healing treatment …over and over and again and again… You have turned out to be quite the friend…. But you are only seasonal…so every time you enter my life…. Your presence only shows me what is about to begin…because hard times to me ;only signify the great beginning to another end!!!
