Standing tall

but feeling like I’m falling short in everything around me.

There are moments when it feels I’ve missed out and that I’ve lost sight of everything.

As my once sharp mind has fallen to the side and everything is so much more difficult to navigate to a point of just blindly guiding myself to a spot I’ve not been and that this will be the place.

A place that would stay intact after you are gone, in hopes the people after you will take care of it as much as you do.

You know that you are stressed and overworked and yet you have to keep pushing yourself to do more just to be above the average person.

You don’t want to keep struggling but you know that if you don’t do it no one will and the need to get it done is urgent and in full force.

There is no turning back now as the time to keep moving and being able to do the impossible is now.

I will do my best to stand up tall and make everything that has been thrown at me not a big deal for someone has to get it done and clearly it isn’t going to be the other people around me.

Standing as tall as I can be and sometimes the battle is lonely but in the end when the Victory is mine I guess the finish line will only be crossed by me.
