Tough Times

September 15, 2011 | By Robert In My Writing |

When things are tough and your falling down, nothing seems to raise your mood. The world seems another place your detached and all alone. No one seems to smile at you the looks are all but true and even if you smile at them the effort passes through, If Only is the word in your head the one that pleads with fate. To show you just a tiny light a glimmer, some hope at least.

Yes the road is long and sometimes tough, there are hills, to many ahead, but you and me we have the legs to climb and climb and climb. We can bitch and moan and protest the cards that we have been dealt, but the only way to keep our mind is always contemplate, the future in our eyes. For if we can see the life we want the hope can never fail and we can step outside ourselves and push us from behind.

We look around and see the selfish and the lazy get their prize, while we work with truth and sweat on our brows for nothing but demise. It’s a breakdown in the reality of right, it’s shocking and it hurts, when every can’t be bothered is benefiting from our work. Only time will tell if the powers that be, the ones that control our world, will come to their senses and reward the effort that we can claim as ours and stop the feed of the idle, the ones that take all their lives.

So when you are out of breath from running and find your standing still, look within for the vision you know belongs to you, let them take and laugh right in your face, but keep that chunk of knowing close within your self. Because there is a wind and it carry’s a change where fortunes can be made and once you claim your place in faith you will catch your breath again.

keep moving and chase your dream with haste, for you will reap the final reward that others can’t deserve. The road seems long and far to bumpy, you know you will prevail, just keep on going and ignore the wasters glare. There is nothing in belief that you can’t overcome, the story of the road less travelled is by far the best I’ve heard.

The fortune of wealth is mine, it is what I deserve, but the only thing I deserve in life is knowing of myself. Yes, the road is long and sometimes tough,the one you’ve chosen for yourself, our lives are like a map with many roads to choose, so plan your route to the place you want to be and only then you can be free.
