I am just a battler,
I always try and do my my best…
To be honest and reliable,
And stand out from the rest…
But sometimes I go unnoticed,
No matter what I do…
A temporary pause in life,
I find myself waiting in that queue…
I hear my father’s voice,
A faint yet distant sound…
To keep on moving forward,
Plant both feet on the ground…
This is what guides me,
Through those days that are my worst…
When I become consumed with anger,
And I think that I am cursed…
So I have learned to shake it off,
Don’t let those demons have their way…
Life has its share of problems,
That we must deal with every day…
Opportunity will come knocking,
At the moment you least expect…
Keep focused on the future,
It's your turn to collect…
