Life choices

This is is the day
Where push comes to shove
To get what I want
I must rise above
Ignore all the people
Saying this saying that
I’ll use what you said 
For this motivational rap
You think you’re one up
You can’t see your own flaws
Narsassistic tendacies
Will soon cause you to fall
When I get discouraged 
And life’s beating me down
I find peace and tranquility
Writing words that rhyme down
The flow like a melody 
Some bitter some sweet
And after they’re written 
I feel refreshed and at peace
Like a therapy session 
My words seek to heal 
Penetrating the mind
Of those we hold dear
The strength of a man
Isn’t found physically
It comes from within
His own ability to see
To see beyond pain
Beyond ugliness and lies
To see his core person
The one built by design
Call upon the creator 
when all hope has evaded
Return to His words
 claim the promises that are stated
You’ll find peace in His presence
And truth in his words 
You’ll trump all life’s problems
As each one occurs 
Clean out all the garbage 
Accumulated and stored 
It flaws up your character 
You’ll be worse than before
Let go of the grip
You have on your heart
Find your own way
Or remain in the dark
