The truth about life

Thu, 04/23/2020 - 05:15 -- Aws

Somewhere along the lines, I have changed

I’m not my normal self anymore

I let people stick a finger in my face

Tell me I’m no good

And when things get hard 

I look for something to blame

 

Let me tell you something that I learned

Life isn’t a fairytale

There no happy ever after

This world is very mean and nasty place

No matter how tough you are 

It will beat you to your knees

It will keep you there permanently if you let it

You, me and everybody will never be hit as hard as life

But 

It isn’t about how hard you were hit

It about you getting hit and keeping moving forwards

How much you can take and keeping moving forwards

That how winning is done

 

Now I know what I’m worth and you should know your worth now to

We need to go out and get what we are worth

We need to be willing to take those hits

And not pointing fingers at people trying to pin the blame

Cowards do that

Not us, that isn’t us

We better then that

Our world
