My Faith

If someone would have told me that this is how my life would have turned out, I would have told them they had no clue what they were talking about. I am no longer attending school and I currently do not have a job, I just sit at home all day long like a poor old slob. But either way I was not happy before, I always wanted and needed more. More of what though? I simply didn’t and still do not know. However, I am not about to give up I am constantly trying to find work But in these times it’s like a rat race, Of which only a few are ever victorious and at the rate at which doors are being slammed in my face, I honestly don’t know how I am going to keep up with the pace. Nonetheless, There is a special gift that I posses, One that gives me the strength and courage to stand up tall, And say to the world “no matter what, I am in this for the long haul” I cling on to it tight, With all my might, So that I will not give up this fight I know that just by looking at me I may look like an utter mess, That doesn’t matter because I will never settle for less. I will scratch and claw my way through the mud until I realize my dream, No matter how crazy I may seem. Until that day, When ill find what I have been looking for And I will finally be on my way.
