Why Didn't I see it Sooner.


You know that moment

When things just fade away

You are in a place

Thinking, " why can't i be more? "

 

Nothing you do seems to work

You want to succeed but have no support

Then someone comes and picks me up

Helps you off your feet, helps you get to success. 

 

Finally you realize it's not me.

I have done all I can.

I am doing all I can. 

I am doing my best and thats what matters.

 

You get up out of your daze

Walk away from the past and find your future

It's difficult but you find the support.

Which makes everything seem like your favorite sport.

 

You look at your furture and think

I never thought I'd be planning this

Then one day you accomplish it

And you think " this couldn't get any better. " 

You feel accomplished and happy. 

And you look at life in a whole different way.
