With imperfections tearing us apart,
We feel like throwing in the towel.

Cruelty weakens the inner self,
Screaming inside for the intent to surrender.

Somehow, survival sets the will to live,
Providing the necessary strength to exist.

Because we don’t want to die,
The goal is to dominate the suffering.

Finding that second wind to endure the brawl,
Fighting all the way to the last round.

We usually finish the brutal battle,
Because life is too precious to quit.

If you only select one trail,
The odds of disappointment are high.

Creating limited options for success,
As you depend on a single chance.

When you choose many paths,
Numerous opportunities can be presented.

Searching the courses that leads to glory,
Trying to find the road which will open.

So if other possibilities fail,
Another route can offer bliss.

Trying to build a foundation from simplicity,
But life’s imperfections shifts into difficulties.

The desired route to easiness is disrupted,
As destiny's plan steers into a different direction.

Complexity rises as drama ignites conflict,
Setting a blaze that sparks catastrophe.

In order to extinguish the inferno,
Controversy must be confronted with logic.

Clearing the fires which could be abolished,
And coping with flames that can only be contained.

Seeking companionship to belong,
Becoming an alliance to form a bond.

Respecting a pledge to assist,
Helping a hurting friend when needed.

Yearning for that desire to share moments,
As togetherness fuels great memories.

Devising a blueprint to establish trust,
With the code of honor dominating ethics.

When having a friend you consider family,
Loyalty builds the bridge to true friendship.

When the pain magnifies,
Unhealthy habits can grow,
Adding fuel to the misery.

Instead, I become lost,
But I lose myself by involvement,
Getting active by being energetic.

Exercising the mind and body,
Whether I am reading a book,
Or working out my muscles.

Numbing myself through activity,
You can say being busy is a bad habit,
But it’s better that the demons of drugs.

Effort strives for a goal,
Chasing a journey with intent.

Ambition runs at full exertion,
As purpose fuels the cause.

If victory isn’t the end result,
Discouragement can rise enormously.

Hopelessness shows signs of defeat,
With confidence experiencing a blow.

Sometimes, a pursued route won’t be found,
As destiny created a different trail to follow.

When one quest isn’t suitable,
Another path to success is usually discovered.
