Endure
tough times and hard decisions abound
and in every direction new pain is found
time to toughen up, these are trying times
and it's time to break from the tired rhymes
let go of the past, and dwell in the now
think of the future, but don't let it get you down
this way or that way, which way do I turn?
through my mind these questions do burn
round and round my brain does go
where it stops not even I can know
twist and turn, writhe and burn
a body lost and slowly tossed
into hardship and the ocean of life
but i've come to expect this kind of strife
sure it's a surprise at first
but it's what I've gotten, and I've yet to burst
stronger, longer, deeper, steeper
life will throw it all at me
just a test to see
how much more i can endure
or just to ensure
that i can take what's in store
for me later on
bulking up my mental brawn
making me something worthwhile
to end up with something to smile
and be proud of
maybe a true and lasting love? (ha)
or maybe something more?
only fate knows what's in store
and it certainly won't spill the beans
because not everything is what it seems
and the future is not ours to see
so whatever will be will be
