In this ol’
Life at times
We find we’re
Just able
To stay afloat
And tread water
Not moving
Not going
Just keeping
Our heads up
Until someone
Helps us out
By throwing
Us out a
Lifeline
Syllablic Verse
Be that someone-throw out a lifeline to somebody in need.
Some days when you just can’t win
Fight that feelin’ of just givin’ up
Don’t lose hope before you begin
Some days when you just can’t win
Keep tryin’ and make yourself grin
Pray for God’s strength to stand up
Some days when you just can’t win
Fight that feelin’ of just givin’ up
Triolet
Somedays
You just want to quit,
Give in and
Give all up.
Those are the days you need
To say “Never, Ever!”
“Never, Ever
Will I stop trying”
“Never, Ever
Will I quit!”
You can’t win if you don’t try.
Don’t ever give up!
Double Shadorma
Looking back at where I’ve been
Won’t get me where I want to be
Thinking of what life was then
Looking back at where I’ve been
Mulling over where I was when
Hides the future from me
Looking back at where I’ve been
Won’t get me where I want to be
Triolet
Floating
But going nowhere
On my river of dreams
It’s only by paddling I move
Forward

Satisfied in my
Comfort Zone
A risk free area
Syllable Lune
So many of us are stuck in our Comfort Zones. We settle for a life that’s ” good enough” but not really ideal. We want to break free, take risks, pursue opportunities, try new things, but it’s hard to find a way out because we are comfortable where we are and there’s not really a need to change.
Perhaps reading this article “10 Ways To Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone” may give you some ideas that will help you find a way.
“Don’t sweat the small things”
When life tries to weary you
Keep up and keep on.
Senryu
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? Jeremiah 12:5
