Poem
How can you move ahead when life seems like it's at a standstill, Moving mountains and moving hills. Grinding day after day making this money, Yet you're back at square one now isn't that funny. Trying to provide a better life for you and yours, While still maintaining your bills and chores. Seems like nothing you do gets you ahead, Keeps you awake at night when you're trying to go to bed. Thinking to yourself is this as good as it gets, I'm busting my ass and for that I have no regrets. Wonder how life would be if you chose a different path, So busy with work you barely have time to relax. Hustling trying to get it all together, So stressed it has left you feeling under the weather. You've changed your life for the greater good, You're living your life exactly how you should. It's a struggle to stay on the straight and narrow, But some people don't see that and if they did they wouldn't care though. They overlook the dedication you have by working doubles, You're at work instead of getting into trouble. You feel like you're chained down, All this working is running you into the ground. You don't even have time to think, You could lose your mind in a brink. Worry, worry, worry, that's all you do, This circle of life is harsh but true. Make a plan and stick to it, That way your life want be so frantic. You started from the bottom and look at you now, You managed to make it on your own somehow. Nothing ever stays the same, Even though it feels like life's playing one big game. Don't let it distract you by giving in, Keeping fighting until you win. Anyone can do anything if you put your mind to it, All it takes is determination and motivation, That's what's going to get you to your final destination. When the water settles and you can see clear, You'll be glad you went through all the bull**** that led you here. April 26, 2014 ~ The One and Only~
