Keep Fighting Kid
When you have a paramount dream constantly unraveling before your consistently
welling blue eyes; when your rest is ever halted by the never ending murmurs of
abhorrent foes drowning your memories in a sea of won’ts; when you are able to
obtain every hollow shell of life’s bitter-sweet sustenance rather than your heart’s
true nourishment; when one moment filled with ten seconds of nightmare darkens
all 86,400 seconds a day of light; when your climb to the summit is exponentially
becoming steeper as your mind, body, and soul tremble beneath your infinitely
encumbering past shame; when you risk your future on a game of pitch and toss
and lose only to pick yourself back up and start again at your beginnings; when
everyone becomes a mental trauma instead of a lending shoulder; when you feel
destitute to be alone yet you keep pushing forward as if the whole world is in your
corner; when you are consistently beaten down time and time again; then and only
then may you see the potential GOD has bestowed upon you and proceed to
conquer the challenge of living up to it.
