Is it wrong for me to wake up today and wish the day was over Am I really all that paranoid if I choose to look over my shoulder I have boulders on my shoulders weighing me down over and over But still I smile knowing in my heart this struggle is building a soldier Yea i walk through the valley of the shadow of debt cause death is not an option yet And I live my life 100mph and refuse to live a life with regrets I steal some time to try to forget that life is just a game And when life makes me pay the cost I tell the cashier to keep the change I don't change don't budge don't cry don't beg even with migraine headaches and a busted up leg I feel I can make a change as long as my condition isn't dead I'm crazy only to an extent the pain is something that I dread But I live my life in a dream that goes away when I crawl into bed Until that time I'm on the grind pushing for the final hour I just needed me some time to vent and this has given me back my power
Hi DonJuan, thanks very much for sharing this with my site visitors! There's something real and a sense of determination in your words. Struggles do help us to polish our characters. A big oak tree doesn't grow big in a nice, lovely shelter, it grows big because it weathers through the storms and harshness of life.
