Keep On

lost for words searching for answers
were to start my reality leaves me clueless feeling trapped alone but still give 
greets with smiles but inside I’m an outcast still a lonely child even though I’m 
older my thoughts are immature when it comes to coping I easily loose focus my 
everyday surrounding sights leave me mentally scared as if I will never amount to 
nothing well at least I have the ability to express myself that’s got to be 
something even though the reflection from the mirror is reflecting failure I will stay 
motivated until death makes me retire
even when they say I will never make it
I take it as encouragement to prove them wrong there just jealous I keep trying 
cause there not as strong to push on to try and try until success console me my 
mother never struggled to raised a failure one day I will toast to success and use 
myself as an example if I can do it you can do it too

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
