The Struggle Within
I tell myself that everything will work out. The correct choice will always be made over the incorrect, the pain will eventually heel, and that good will always prevail over evil. But everyday I maintain that internal fight amongst myself. Will I have the courage to say the right thing, the motivation to do what needs to be done, or the patience to sit and wait? Some can do all three, while others falter with each. I wake up everyday thinking, wondering, hoping, that if today is the day that defines the man I am, and the man I will be, I am ready to be that man. Each day I know, that if I am called upon, I cannot, I will not, stumble or fall. I will not fail. I will succeed and do what it takes, to ensure I remain standing, whether broken and bruised, beaten and crushed, gasping for one more breath, I will survive and fight back against that struggle within. I will not quit, I will not give in, I will remain...STANDING!
