Strength Driven By Pain

Strength Driven By Pain

As I stare into your mysterious eyes it 
reminds me of all the wonderful times 
we shared, but then I blink and see 
that both of us walk away scared 
without a care. I get knocked down 
only to get back up stronger then I 
was before, I am living proof that 
survivals a must, I have a purpose in 
this world it's to spread my message 
to never give up, the hand I was dealt  
was given to me because l have been 
able to overcome more then most  
people could possibly ever imagine, 
but understand hell is on earth and 
people sin, but forgiveness and 
second chances will give you the 
tools to win, keep your head up high 
and let your smile show time to man 
up and take control, my decision is I 
am going to be the best father for my 
children to see, seeing is believing so 
here I am this is my life I am focused 
and ready to go so bring on the next 
challenge I'll continue grow.

As long as we keep the happy 
memories alive there is always the 
chance that our love will beat the 
odds and continue to strive forever 
and always till the end of time. I will 
never be able to change my past, but 
the past is the past I'm living for 
today because it's all that's promised.  
Make the best of anything and 
everything you have because life is 
beautiful if you decide to do what's 
right, please listen to what I'm saying 
and I promise you this, happiness 
comes from within don't be greedy or 
spiteful be grateful for your life take a 
risk you only live once grab the wheel 
of fortune and give it a spin. Put it like 
this keep it simple and instead of 
always talking try and listen to 
someone else's pain because you 
have nothing to lose and everything to gain. 
 
 Have done quite a bit of this lately, just pull it from my mind and it just flows while I'm writing!!! poetic/singer/song writing.

An interesting and inspirational expression of determination. I agree, do the next right thing. Sounds like you come from a place of deep introspection. And agree, talking is one thing, doing is quite another. Take care.
