What do you do when life comes crashing down
When your coworker tells you that you have been training your replacement
When you are stuck with enough money to pay your bills and all you have is twelve dollars
Taunting your wallet to spend wisely
Do we run?
Or do we take this problem head on like a Ram charging up to prove ourselves against another hard skull

I guess this is based off personal preference
Just another life experience we must learn on our own
Push through the hard times to gain the good times
Things get easier when you work harder
That is what I'm told at least

When people hear about my life problems right now
They are quick to give ******* generic advice
The whole "keep your chin up" or "life will turn around"
**** that *******
I'm sick of this advice
Tell me something real
Better yet, lets trade shoes for a while and you can wear these worn out kicks
Full of Pain and hard times

Actually I'm going to keep them
Fight through this struggle
Take life in stride and wear out these souls to the point where I need to buy new ones
Ones that fit a bit better

I'll walk through these empty streets to clear my head
Shed hard earned layers of life
Till the sun comes up to show me how beautiful life can be
When everything begins to wake up and traffic begins to pick up
I keep walking
I keep walking until  I reach my bed to lay and rest
Hopefully when I wake up
All the bad dreams will be gone
No longer haunting me
