Life's Experiences

we often get up and fight for many things in life 
but in the end we fight and sometimes we lose 
but sometimes the decision is not always mandatory
so when your time comes ask yourself what will you choose

sometimes life throws a hardball at us unexpectedly, it happens
sometimes it will have you feeling like throwing in the towel but don't
i was told that the lord would never give us more than we can bare 
so instead of me saying I’ll try not to give up i will ensure that i wont 

we sometimes work around people that are like vampires that walk at day
they always seem to smile with you and then try to hurt you in the end 
i try to keep focus because i work for my family to keep food on the table
and i try to remember that not everybody that smiles with you is your friend

we are going to have relationships that we invest our all and everything in 
but no matter how hard we work that relationship will end up causing pain
but be minded not to stress on the effort and time that you put out in it 
but in the end always be thankful of the experience that you will gain 

life as a way of teaching us very valuable lessons from bad experiences
but these experiences somehow strengthen us along our road to success
some would probably be blaming god that they are jinxed or maybe cursed 
looking at where i am coming from to where i am at now i know i am bless 

my mother told me that nothing in this life comes easily you got to work 
the bible even told you that by the sweat of your brow so you will eat bread 
live your life knowing that anything you want in life you have to work for it
and believe that there is always possibilities once you are alive not dead 

I’m not easily moved the amount of obstacles thrown my way and I’m still here 
i am a worker i work for what i want i never just give up without a fight
i am a person that stays goal orientated and i suggest you do the same 
and i remember god in all i do so success will never be out of my sight!!!!
