Reaching For The Win

I tell tales of happiness, sadness, anger, and of being content

I don't care what anybody else thinks--it's my time well spent

Purging my thoughts and sharing my feelings in a life that's not easy

I know that if I get stuck in a negative mindset I'll slip away--negativity is greasy

I write as if my life depends on every word

I let the words soar out of my mouth like a beautiful bird...

I'm looking for an extra set of arms to comfort me

I want to be with someone that wants to see what I see

How many times do I have to make an attempt at someones heart?

How many times do I have to make an attempt for a romantic start?

Is it my rough shell that keeps her from  seeing what's in between my chest?

I need a set of extra arms to help me rest...

The Higher Power of my understanding tells me to keep pushing on

My hard work will pay off sometime between the dusk or dawn

I look up and confirm that I trust him 

My spirituality keeps my life's lights from going dim

When I pray rough waters grow still

Warmth and love gives my heart its fill...

Today I'm certain life will bring me "good"

I walk tall and confident opposed to insecure--hiding my face with a hood

Living isn't sitting on my posterior end wondering what could have been

Living is taking action everyday reaching for the win...
