It's a sharp point, far more threatening then the blade of a sword. A sword may end your life early, but you die fighting for what you believe in. You see the moment you loose hope and let your heart die, you still have to live for what you don't believe in. Like a zombie, a hopeless man wonders aimlessly through life seeking anyone or anything to suck the life out off.
It's so important to surround yourself with people that are positive and ambitious like yourself. Befriend successful people who are not, of course, complete twats! Even if you feel like a failure, like I so often do, just cling to the knowing that you have not failed until you stop trying.
Ever once in awhile I'll stumble across something I created, an old poem or song that I forgot about or a kind gesture I gave to someone and it'll surprise me and uplift me. I'll sit there thinking, 'wow, did I do that', and I be encouraged to keep on keeping on. I hope you know how great you are!
Here is that little surprise I got, an old poem I can barely remember writing.
A Charming Young Man
although i am past like a summers burn, taken away never to return, on a road that leads to the end, one step at a time, one step at a time. why do i venture or adventure sometimes on roads that can not lead me anywhere? why do i seek an untouchable truth, pushing further but closer into. why do i devil and play with the flames, the ones that consume you and leave you dead and in blame. i trip, i stumble, but love it when i almost fall, head first into temptation, head over heels through it all. it's the dance of madness, the beating of my heart, the taste of difference, the horse and the cart, the everything i'm after and the line i might cross...
