Life

Life is always one step forward and two steps back, and that is never going to change,

Whenever you try to change that pattern, it feels a little strange.

The truth is, that is exactly how it is supposed to be,

And it took you a long time to finally see.

Tht everything we go through happens for a reason,

And it needs to occur, just like the changing of the seasons.

When it feels like life is holding you back from getting what you want,

And the memories of all the dreams that you let die start to haunt,

It is just life preparing you for what is really meant for you,

And deep down, you know what it is that you have to do. 

That things are supposed to get hard to show you what you are capable of,

And everything that you have been through has been a blessing from above.

You know you have what it takes to make it,

Because no matter what you are going through, you are never going to quit.

And when your goal seems like it is about to fail,

And it seems like you are trapped, and there is no way to get out of that jail.

But when things go awry, it is causing you to be redirected,

And there is a reason that you needed to be rejected.

Because when you let go of what you think you want, it is because you can get something more,

And you always have the opportunity to go through another door.

You are capable of so much more than you think,

And with everything you go through, you are giving yourself the chance to grow.

When you feel like giving up, and you no longer think you can,

You need to remind yourself that not everything is going to go according to plan.

You are only capable of what you allow yourself to believe,

And with that mindset, there is nothing you can’t achieve.

When things get hard, you need to remember that you can start over as many times as you need,

Because you are a fighter, and you are never going to quit, no matter how many times you bleed.
