I finally realized my stumbling block in life
the one thing that would always hold me back.
Instead of accepting things as they were
I always had to find the reason behind them.
It's really true that things in life can just happen
no certain reason why they do; no answer awaits.
Each time I searched for one, I'd stumble hard
farther back I'd fall; crippled from wondering why.
Now when I struggle to get past that obsticle
I reach my hand out, place the problem within
with a huge breathe, I blow it toward oblivion
no longer allowing it to take control my life!

this shows real striengh and that it can be done, we can take control of how we feel, its just knowing that obstacle that is in the way, then we can take control.
lovely piece of writing, thnkyou for sharing it and good luck x -
It's funny how we work so hard to see the reason behind why something happens - I guess we are the only species that are plagued in this way - it's fun though, sometimes, isn't it.
