I Try My Best
i could be bitter or better but i chose to try to be my best-
i could be a kicker or a fighter, for one time I was depressed.
i could stand up tall or fall to my knees with regret and shame-
i could enthrall in an inner brawl and TRY to forget my name.
i could stay inside my comfort zone where i feel more at ease-
i could trade my ability to suffer alone in the cold and freeze.
i could be a defenseless loss cause with no one to count on-
i could be relentless in exhaustion who can’t confront my demon.
i could be a prey to my addiction or get healthy and stay better-
i could stay afraid of MY affliction or become a wealthy hope spreader.
i could be a fool or a scapegoat with nowhere else to run and hide-
i could go back to school and explode with anxiety supplied.
there are many things that can make or break my confidence-
there are plenty of things that can take away my competence,
but i have grown and shown my absolute BEST with much difficulty-
i have known and am blown away as i reflect on such v i c t o r y.
