Week In Review

I feel like I have something to say
Ok,
But I don’t know where to start
Well,
I guess I’ll speak from my heart
This week 
A lot of things have entered my mind
And no
nothing like thoughts of suicide
Good things
Through tough situations
Good mind sets
Through life’s limitations
I think my faith is growing
I can tell
From the maturity that I’m showing
That’s why I feel
Like I’m getting strong
I’m learning how to take hard blows
And move on
I don’t have enough
But I have so much more
That’s my foundation,
When I’m walking out the door
I have so much to strive for
Yet, so much I have now
That’s my first thought 
When life tries to take me out
That’s all it is 
No vendetta against me
But what all must stare down
To truly succeed
This life,
In which, is living
Has no face
For those which,
The problems are given
But it’s cool
Because I’m starting to wise up
Pressing through gifts unknown
That one calls bad luck
I’m cool	
Even without a buck
Even when I’m tired
I desire
More
Because I know all the possibilities
Of what’s in store
If only I hold fast
If I just endure
And get a hold on life
Before it holds me up
Whoa,
I think I’ve said enough
As such,
I think it’s time to go
Time to turn in
So the next lessons of life
I pray, begin
I know I’ve said too much
But,
Let me add this 
Because I feel this last part
You can’t miss
If I never have a word again
You’ll hear me say
That trouble
Does not last always
