Believe.

I don't know about you 
but from time to time 
I feel alone. 
Not sure what's going to happen.

I wonder....

As hard as it feels
dealing with family, friends (foes), career, play, and on and on some more....
cause it feels hard right now.


Then I smile at the kindness in the hearts of others 
they make my life feel easy and peaceful.
I work hard. I don't doubt my capabilities or my worth. 
Not anymore. 
I've fallen a thousand times 
and I keep getting up. 
Maybe a few tears and scrapes. 
Maybe a little slower than normal, but I keep going. 

Why?

Why keep going when it hurts so much.... Because I Believe. 
I believe in something better. And I learn.

Maybe that's why I enjoy running. It takes my breath away. 
Sometimes I want to cry. 
Sometimes I have to stop and tie my shoe (again). 
Sometimes I grab a drink and spill it over me because I don't stop running. 
I think about quitting sometimes too. 

I'm tired. I want it to be over.

I keep going. I believe. And yes it helps when others believe in me too.

In the end, I get there 
because I continue to take the steps forward. 
Like I said, sometimes I'm not running, but walking. 
Hey, I've even crawled. 
And on one occasion I dragged myself for miles. It happens.  

Keep Going. 

Believe.
