- high ambitions is not synonymous with a successful life - change your focus - quote by poet Social life is full of codes and rules of the game Fight for our freedom and for our existence Tortured in a slow bloodletting Some are so caught up in the game that they forget to recognize who they are behind the mask Many people feel both pressured and stressed a chronic rush to perform perfectly Without trying other options Uphill puts things in perspective Every single ray of sunshine must be captured The challenge is to prioritize what is important not to live as a social reflection Always look for the positive side of life a happy person is a fighter Truth is not the worst ... the betrayal makes me fall on my knees 08/03/2021 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Life's Struggles - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France 1st place in the contest
