Fate has led to bad luck,
Leading to feelings of being stuck.

Should it have been,
Or are we expected to win?

Whenever destiny has in store,
We must be ready for what’s behind the door.

Life is a mysterious puzzle,
Unprepared for the unknown struggle.

Instead of dwelling on the current pain,
Be ready for the soaking rain.

As raw emotions controls our mind,
Righteousness is blinded by hatred.

Peace is blind-folded through revenge,
Leading to no sight for a truce.

In order to see harmony at the end of the light,
That dark mask must come off to discover all viewpoints.

Once sight can explore all opinions,
Your brain will see perfect vision.

Forming a pact that was once brutal,
Changing into a civil agreement with many possibilities.

You run at full speed to the finish line,
But you keep falling on the ground,
Injuring your knee and pride.

Life continuously pushes obstacles in your way,
Leading to a feeling of throwing in the towel,
Sick of all the hurdles on the road.

Sitting with dark thoughts creeping up,
Scared of the negative outcome,
Which is the spark for getting up.

Once realizing that survival is the only option,
You grab a firm hold of your cloth,
And run with determination to reach the end.

Craving that accomplishment so bad,
You can taste the glory of victory.

Fighting for a cause that you always dreamed of,
You are willing to climb the highest mountains,
And run through the fires which burn.

You know that the task won’t be easy,
But you put yourself through hell to achieve your goal.

You feel like you will crack on your journey,
But determination prevails by ******* up misery.

At the very end of the trail,
You will be standing tall at the finish line.

When I was lost on the street of life,
My parents took my hand when I was confused.

Whenever I did something dumb due to being young,
My caregivers helped me turn a wrong into a right.

Every time I was living in misery,
They inspired me to rise up from the anguish.

My mother and father guided me through all the mazes,
Encouraging me to become the man I always wanted to be.

They will always be that inspiration that saved my soul,
And no deed is too powerful to express the thanks that I owe them.

When my faith was as small as a mustard seed,
God was still my knight in shining armor,
Protecting me from this society that can be cruel.

When I was living in misery,
I slammed the door on the almighty’s face,
But he still loved me with all his heart and soul.

He guided me through the obstacles of life,
Making sure that I was safe from this imperfect world,
Setting a course to a destined path which led to happiness.

Deep inside, God always lived within me,
But I was lost on the trail of life,
And the lord helped me find the light.

God will always be my hero and savior,
And I will try not to turn my back on him again,
Praying every day for his love and courage.

After that difficult day of stress,
She is always there to ease the tension.

Whenever sadness controls my feelings,
My dog knows how to produce that smile on my face.

As terror creeps up on my nerves and brain,
Roxy’s presence provides tranquility to my entire body.

If rage starts to build up inside my veins,
My pet can offer calmness that runs through my bloodstream.

My animal will always be my best friend,
And my protector from harmful emotions in this imperfect world.
