Looking around at all that bears witness
to this life I've made for myself
not sure if it's parallel to the goals I've paved
or expectations made
by myself or others
Truth is
besides my father...my mother...and my only daughter
I could care less of judgments
and opinions that don't have me winning
a ticket to heaven or paradise on Earth
but for what it's worth...I've tried
Blood
Sweat
Tears
Years of reparations in attempt to catch up with
failures unforgotten
spoils
rotting
renamed as mistakes, that have taken
a toll on my future
present
and past
heartaches & heartbreaks that have lasted
far too long
yet I move on
because quitting...
has never been, and never will be
an option
kinda like the song
"We fall down, but we get up"
What
sets me apart from those
who've made it?
aced it?
is my million $ question...vexin...perplexin'...
now if I could just cash out on the answer....
