Get back up again...

 

Life can be hard sometimes, as many of you who read this know...

 

I've been hurt by the people closest to me,

the ones who should be there protecting me,

yet after all that

I picked myself up,

dusted off,

and day by day started holding my head a little higher,

as I started to make a better life.

 

I've seen people I care about pass,

seen them drink away their memories,

seen some turn to drugs and lose everything,

I've seen people get beat up by life.

It's sad.

I've seen beautiful souls taken from this life too soon.

Sometimes life is really unfair.

But the world keeps turning and life keeps going.

There's only one thing to do,

Get back up

Dust off

Hold your head high

and keep going strong believing that tomorrow will be better

 

Because even as I've seen all the pain and somber things above what keeps me going...

 

The sunrise in the morning

The promise of a new day

The smell of fresh cut grass

The feel of a horse under me flying down the trail

The soothing calm of sitting by a river

The colorful sky when the sun sets

 

No matter my failures I keep going

for the one day when I succed

for the day that I can have all my dreams

for the look on everyone's faces when I do finally meet all my goals and I can say "Told you so"

 

I keep going dispite the hard times

because of all the laughs and smiles durning the good times

 

I try to make the most out of life for those who were taken too soon

for those who don't make the most and just watch the days pass by

 

I keep going and I hope you do too.

 

Let your life be a message to someone else

Be an inspiration

Be an example

Be a survivor

and show those who are in the lows of life right now that if they keep getting up each day that it gets better.
