Breaking Free

Sometime's life knock's you down,


You feel weak and faced to frown.


However life is life, you have to live it and deal,


Many thing's cross that tinker with how you feel.


In the end you have you,


To either stand up or continue to stew.


Raise you're head and live today,


Or cry today like you did yesterday.


The choice is your own no mater what's past,


Big or small time moves too fast.


You can't focus too much on what could have been,


If you do that then you loose it all in the end.


Moment's and memories you spent dwelling,


Life's reaction to mental swelling.


Become optimistic with a brighter view,


Think of all the thing's that enlighten you.


Imagine what you could have and strife for your goal,


There is no point in giving up ; just take the shot's and roll.


You will come across many thing's that you won't like,


As that's said, It's up too you to deal or hike. 


Crying isn't an option simply because it does nothing good,


Yelling for you're point is beyond pointless : It's misunderstood.


Become the bigger person if the problem is with another,


Don't be stubborn over love there will always be ..."the other"..


Life has its quirks that will eventually bring you down,


It's really up to you to break free or take deep drown.
