Succeed as Yourself

Fight for the things that you believe in.
Don't let life's hardships beat you down.
You are not a failure until you give up.
Work hard and fight for your dreams.

Good things in life come with a price tag.
Pay the price for all that matters to you.
Some things that are worth the high cost.
Never settle for being average or normal.

Normalcy is overrated and for the sheep.
Be true to and celebrate your unique self.
Strive to be who you want to be always.
Don't listen to the naysayers and criticizers.

You will be unhappy living for someone else.
Not everyone is meant to be the same person.
We are all unique like the snowflakes falling.
Love who you are and be proud of your beliefs.

An Overdue, Brief Update...

While I am currently experiencing a bit of writer's block, I have decided to simply write anyway. I have a lot on my mind lately and my life is in the process of undergoing some major changes. Some of them involve me and others involve family and friends who are going through significant changes. Apparently the way things were was not good enough, it had to change. I just want to be happy and feel free to write again with a positive attitude. I need to find a way to be happy and feel positive again. Sigh...

PLEASE COMMENT and tell me some topics you would like me to write about. That would help a lot! Thanks readers for sticking by me during this difficult time.

Life is Not Fair, But Life is Still Good

"Life is not fair" is a quote often used by parents to their children and by people in general. With recent events that have happened to a few of my friends as well as myself, I can see how this is an absolute truth. I see people who are working hard to become who they want to be. I see individuals that are saddled down by sudden tragedies and heartaches. Breaks my heart to see those I love be hurt by the cruelty of life and its difficult situations. I know "everything happens for reason" as another commonly stated quote says, but sometimes the explanation behind certain events is hard to find or digest. I want to see the good in everything, but sometimes I feel unable to find much good in a world filled with bad news and numerous unpleasant situations. That being said, I will not give up on life. Life contains some great experiences and I want to see what is next for me and for others in my life. I know things will eventually get better, they have to at some point. I have been through and seen plenty of tough times in my past. Somehow I eventually moved on from those events. Surely I can make it through this set of obstacles and cross the finish line as a victor of my own demons, situations, and emotional baggage. Even if I need outside help, I will overcome my own difficulties once again.

Becoming A Success Is Not Easy!

I keep falling down to the ground.
Falling down into the vast darkness.
I feel so worn, torn, and defeated.

My life keeps pushing my buttons.
I cannot catch a single break lately.
As I navigate through this huge mess.

I feel like I am a walking train wreck.
I try be positive and upbeat each day,
But my life keeps pushing me down.

I long to be smart and successful.
I keep trying to go somewhere better,
But all the signs are telling me I can't.

I am not meant to ever do any better.
I don't care what these naysayers say.
I am going to keep working on me.

I am not giving up on improving me.
I will not stop being a better person.
I feel I am a better woman this way.

I will do better than others expected.
I will make it out of the lower end.
I am going to do well and help others.

I am not persuing education and work,
Just to become a rich, arrogant snob.
I want to have the knowledge to help.

If you cannot accept my changing life,
Then you can just go screw yourself.
Get out of here and don't come back.

I don't need unsupportive morons here.
You are just jealous and wish it was you.
You will not get off of your lazy behind.

You sit and wait for good things to come.
I have a news flash for you lazy lowlifes.
Nothing good comes without a price tag.

If you want your life to be a better place,
Then you will need to take active actions.
No one is going to do it all for you here.

However, we all can be successes in life.
We all can do good in our unique ways.
Let us support each other like a family.

We all can work towards good goals.
We all have it in us to be decent people.
We just need to be willing to work hard.

What Do I Really See?

I see a being with many imperfections,
Someone who always needs to change.
I am like a puzzle with missing pieces,
Who is not completely put together.

No matter what I do with my life,
What I do is never enough for me.
Even though I work hard and study,
I often feel I could be doing more.

I could help others in need sometime,
Pay someone who is elderly or sick a visit.
I could take more classes to get smarter,
I feel like I often act in my life as a moron.

Why do I accept others for who they are,
While I cannot accept who I am inside?
I constantly push myself to look prettier,
Be nicer, work harder, and do better.

For myself I accept nothing but perfection,
While I treat everyone else as a human being.
I act as if I don't deserve to be simply be human,
I must be something more to be good enough.

While secretly I know that I cannot be perfect,
A part of me holds hope that someday I will be.
I need to let go of these unrealistic expectations,
So I can accept myself and fully love myself again.
