The Journey To The Win

I’ve dabbled in the lowest of lows

I’ve dabbled in the highs

And through each and every struggle

I witnessed strengths and flaws of mines

 

I was too caring

I was too kind

But those were also my biggest strengths

 

I dwelled too much on the past

I forgave

But reminded others that I never would forget

 

I’ve let seasons go by

And still had a cold heart in the Spring

I’ve let false friends come along my journey of life

Even when they shouldn’t stand beside me

 

I held on to my feelings

I made others believe I did not feel a thing

And the whole time I foolishly believed this to be my biggest strength

 

I let my passion just flee from my mind

I became emotionally numb

And in that instant I realized that I went about things wrong

 

I was stubborn for a long time

I did not change a thing

All the while thinking

That I was doing what’s best for me

 

I created a wall that was impenetrable

I created boundaries that didn’t need to exist

I limited access to myself and missed out on many of life’s gifts

 

I’ve fallen countless times

I’ve also  stumbled

But most importantly I finally got up

 

The Journey through life is a hard one indeed

But so far, I know if I change my mindset

By the end, I will have won
