'When the going gets tough
the tough get going'
Why don't they stay?
They must be afraid...
To safe spaces they head out
where they sulk and they pout
They can't stand the heat
so they get out of the kitchen
~ Enough of their bit-chin
To hope for the unattainable.
To dream when hope is gone.
To strive for dreams remaining.
To die when strive’s too long.
To wish for things unseen.
To believe that wishes come true.
To pray when beliefs are tarnished.
To die when praying is through.
To live for days gone by.
To struggle when living gets rough.
To get going when it’s not worth the struggle.
To die when the going gets tough.

Dreamer
Never sleeps
Always wide-eyed
Walking past darkness
Into a ray of light
Embracing all challenges
Quelling every adversity
Pushing on when the going gets tough
And nothing or no one gets in the way

“M” is for all the material things she gave me
“O” means only she sees the real me
“T” is for tears she shed
“H” is for heartfelt words in time of need
“E” is for her emerald eyes, filled with love so indestructible;
“R” is for her remarkable perseverance when the going gets tough
Put them all together; it spells
‘MOTHER’
A job that has so much devotion, and evolvement is the hardest jobs of them all.

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.
A tragedy John’s life was so short.
Alone, his beautiful young widow,
In mourning for their tender love,
Holds his photograph and cries.
Alone, his beautiful young widow,
Pining for his strong, loving arms,
Holds his photograph and cries,
Her memories keep her company.
Pining for his strong, loving arms,
In mourning for their tender love,
Her memories keep her company:
A tragedy. John’s life was so short.
In Memory of John D
For Deb’s When the Going Gets Tough contest
Don't give up when times are hard against the graft
Don't give up when breaking the mold you pause for a laugh
Don't forget all the good times that you had
Don't remember the bad times you were mad
Don't forget the struggle and the strain
Again and again and again and again
Don't be crying when the sun is shining again
Don't be the one hiding when its time to ascend
Don't give up when the going gets tough
Don't be destroyed when the times are rough
Don't give up.
Come judgment day
y'all niggaz tryna run away
Hidin' behind the clouds
from niggaz with much clout
But, as they say:
when the going gets tough,
the tough get bombed.
Stuffin' the leafy rod
with a sticky green wad.
A concoction that burns
and blows sweeter than
fine Eastern incense
Open a fortune cookie,
what's it say:
I gotta hit dat.
And to be honest, I think
it's just what you needed.
A reality check to the forehead
to stop the mental bleeding.
