When It Is Not Or Whether It Is Yours

When all seems lost and you’re hopeless.
When it’s like nothing possible could be done 
for the helpless.
When it seems like mistakes cannot be corrected.
When you feel like letting go 
cause you can take it any longer.
When you begin to ask yourself why, 
is there anything still left worth the try.
When you think know it and you don’t.
When nothing happens like you want.
It is when the going gets tough, 
you get tough going.
