It's In You

Even though things look bad now, this is not the end,

And you feel like you are making the same mistakes again and again.

You have it in you to keep going,

Even though it feels like your dreams and your goals are slowing. 

And you are getting tired from doing the same thing all of the time,

And you are not sure anymore if this is a mountain that you are able to climb.

Because everytime you take on step forward, it seems to continue to grow,

And you feel like you still have so much further for you to go.

Because everytime you take one step forward, you seem to get sent back even more,

And it is moments like this when you contemplate what it is that you are even fighting for.

But you know that the reason you are doing this is so much bigger than you,

And that is why you refuse to give up, despite everything that you have been through.

You know that you are fighting to prove everyone wrong,

And to prove that you had it in you to succeed all along.

You are fighting for everything that they said you could never be,

You are fighting to finally be able to say that I am the best version of me.

You are fighting for everyone who said you could never win,

You are fighting to finally let go of the way that things have been.

You are fighting to finally be glad,

And to let go of everything in your life that is weighing you down and making you mad.

Mad for letting things get as bad as they did,

Because this is a battle that you have been fighting since you were a kid.

And it seems like it is not getting better, but it is getting worse,

And even though you want to give up, you know that you are the one in the family who can 

break the curse.

So finally no one in you family has to go through everything that you have been through,

And they are going to be born into a world where there is a much better view.

One where they are able to live, not just survive,

Because you did everything in your power to ensure that you were able to thrive.
