Strive

Depressed but hopeful Quiet, just loud with expression Exploding but stable Breathing with no emotion Guilty for actions committed An apology with resignation Tortured by an undisciplined tongue Regret of decisions made Aware of the danger that occurs Reliving past failures of a soul A soul looking for courage, For strength to achieve the impossible To know one's self from the inside out, Drops of jealousy pollute the mind Of an individual who's treasured by most Excessive work to consume time The time of madness and confusion Feeling lonely and out of sync Wanting to escape but still in chains Fighting for what you want is optional Fighting to survive is necessary Fighting to hang on to the little future you have left To know who you are, and not based on anyone else's opinion To be different in spite of the popular To be the best in spite of the champion To know that you did everything in your power, and to the best of your ability Though people lavish the name of people Your individuality is the only thing that matters You must fight to succeed in this world To keep pushing regardless of the circumstances or trials of life it's self To be able to know that God is ever present Ever living and ever knowing and present in your time of trouble To know that probelms come and go To challenge you to stay on your knees On your face and be mindful that everything you do has a consequence Before a decision is made reflect on its results It's costs and sacrifices Stop feeling sorry for yourself and thrive to be the best, Strive
