Live Strong

[beanieweanie1]

Just when you think that things could not get any worse. Just when you think that you have been through everything, that maybe it was time for things to start looking up...something comes along to test your strength. ( again, and again, and again...) You get knocked down, you drag yourself up and then someone comes along with a baseball bat and beats you down again. You keep gettin up to defy that which has knocked you down, you look it in the face and it takes that bat and bam! down you go. And as you get up again, bleeding, in agony, legs shaking, muscles aching... you know that you are not going to stay down you know that you have to be strong. It's do or die. It's you or it. I wish that things would get easier but I guess the easy life just isn't for me. I can only hope that I can stay strong, hold on and keep getting up, again and again. I can only hope that maybe one day when that bat comes swinging at my head I can duck away and someday catch it in my fist. Right now all my strength is being tested. I have to stay strong not only for myself but for my family.

I just feel so powerless.

Ben you're my cut-man, and it's the twelfth round.
