| Thoughtful |
| If I were given the chance to have all of my bad memories removed as if they had never happened, I would not take the opportunity. They are a part of who and what I am, and losing a piece of my soul is not worth the peace of mind. The best revenge is not in getting even. It is in being a better person than you were before adversity, after the efforts used to destroy you are spent. I held the world upon my shoulders and was called strong. I cared for my daughter and was called responsible. I did the things I knew a person should and was called a man. I hope no one notices the trembling of my muscles under the strain, hears the thoughts keeping me awake at night and knows the worries of responsibility, looks down and sees the feet of clay of a mortal man. Everything has a breaking point. Under the right conditions, even solid steel can shatter like glass. Ture victory does not lie in the winning but in giving your best, because losing when you try your best is not defeat only losing. Defeat is giving up without putting forth the effort to try. There is nothing in the darkness that was not present in the light, save the doubts and fears within your soul made manifest. Disappointment has writ heavily upon me and I struggle under it's weight. Though I strive to overcome, the burdens are too heavy to easily persue happiness. Though the responsibilities I have placed on my soul may seem momumental, I continue on for giving up has never been an option. A diamond is coal that could handle and deal with the pressure. It is strange that love allows you to understand most of the songs on the radio, but it takes loss to understand the rest. A person cannot know how truly strong they are until they allow themselves to become weak. People that demand respect from others seldom do anything to earn it, but those that earn respect never have to ask for it. I am trapped in a the most vile of cages, one of my own construction; built out of responsibilities, dreams and promises to others. Though the door stands wide open, I cannot leave it. To do so would cost me the only thing of value I have left, my soul |
