Struck Out

Today at 8:05 AM Why must we feel stuck, as if we can't get out. Instead of positive on our minds, most are filled with doubts. This life was never meant, to be easy for a second. That's why before blessings, we are taught many lessons. So many people, think they're alone on this ride. Always seen with a smile but it's the hurt that they hide. I am here to tell you, I promise that you're not. All you have to do, is give happiness a shot. We all walk by one another, passing on the streets. Never knowing what that stranger, would give anything to defeat. It really is not that hard, offering to help someone. Do you not have struggles, that you wish were undone? Why does one judge so hard, when they do not even know. Why cut someone off, when there is so much left to show. If each person in the world..gave one stranger a chance, life would be more beautiful.. From just a single glance. When all we ever hear about, are the sad things and the bad.. It makes it haft to remember, the great things we all once had. If you really want change.. You have to be just that, if you think the world has struck out, then maybe you're up to bat.
