I fail, and see only the loss of my dreams
Not the drive that allowed me to persue them.
***
I am told "You are not good enough to continue"
And I am blind to the success that brought me this far.
***
My vision is filled with those that desire my absence
Blocking out the ones who seek my presence.
***
I experience the struggles and tribulations of life,
So I forget the joys and triumphs that came with them.
***
On the crest of a high wave, one sees the limitless sky.
In a trough between waves, one sees nothing but water.
It's R U OK day, and the answer to that question is not always 'yes'. Sometimes, the best thing you can do to help is to listen without judgement, and show compassion.
