Stay strong

I sit
I stand
I walk
I stop
I try
I give up
I know
And I ignore
I speak
And say nothing
I aim
But I’m aimless
I breathe
But I’m breathless
I hope
But it’s hopeless
I’m calm
But I feel stress
I want more
Not less
It’s up to me
I guess
Gas pedal
I press
More power
I impress
Into my soul
That is my goal
Play my role
This world needs all of my soul
Lifted
Bring out a part of me that’s gifted
Ego humble
No need for a big head
I stick with my heart instead
Bring me joy
Like a kid with a toy
Energies try to ploy
Spoil my joy
Come at me
And I destroy
No anger
Challenges are
No stranger
But life is stranger
Then fiction
Battle my addiction
Things that make you feel good
Can bring you the biggest friction
Dragging on concrete
Closer to defeat
Stand up tall on 2 feet
Sparkles under my feet
Passion, fire and heat
Words of power on repeat
Songs of the heart
Play your part
Keep me strong when I need it
So I can tell the bad moods to
Beat it
Shields and armor I build it
Domination and control
Can beat it
Help from angels
Keep me strong when I need it
I just had to repeat it
