What Is It With You

"What Is It With You?"
And The Horrible Things That You Do.
All The Same Old Problems
       Never End,
Cause You Refuse To Take The Time-
        To Mend,
Whatevers Going Wrong 
       In Your Life.
Describe You In 2 Words?
       That's Easy!
    ~Misery & Strife~

   But I Know One Day,
       You'll Find,
        & Admit 
That The Quest For Nirvana,
   Really Isn't A Myth.
Because Where Would You Run 
       & Hide,
When All Your Demons 
   Burst From Inside.
& Just Like "Christine" Un-Masked 
    The "Phantom"
You'll Find Your Fear 
     Soon Turning 
Into Dis-Satisfaction.
     And Only Being 
What You Believed 
The World Had Wanted
      You To Be.

But Why Do You Let Success Seem To Stress You?
You See Life Dealing Another Bad Hand,
Instead Of How Its Really Just Blessed You.
So, Chalk It Up To Fear Of Success,
Or You Dont You Think That You Would Do Your Best?~
When Challenged With One Of Life's Many Unexpected Test's

Instead Of Confronting Them :
       Head-On,
    Optimistically,
    & With Zest
    Living With
 A Fervent Knowledge~
     Or Belief
To Know Were All Capable
       To Do
  Exactly What It Is
 ~We Put Our Minds To~
