Just Keep Going

You lost your focus again.

You lost sight of your goals and became too worried about impressing your friends.

Deep down, you know some of those people who you called your friends do not want to see you win,

And you have worked too hard to go back to the way that things have been.

You let yourself get distracted, erasing all of the progress that you have made,

And you feel like a fool for allowing yourself to get played.

It is time to put in the work and remember what you are fighting for, 

Because you already went through this before, and you don't want to reopen that door.

If there is someone that you have to heal from, than they are not meant for you,

And as much as you tried to make it work, this was something that you already knew.

You had that gut feeling, and you tried too hard to push it aside,

But when it comes to those real feelings, you know that this is something you can not hide.

There is still a lot of work for you to do, 

And you are not going to be truly happy until it is completely through.

Things are not working out the way you want because it is not over yet,

And these distractions that you keep feeding into have become your biggest threat.

Even though it hurts, you know that you are destined to succeed,

Because you have realized a long time ago that belief in yourself is all that you need.

That dream was instilled in you for a reason,

And it is not going to fade away with the season.

This is something you have wanted, and God knew that all along,

That some people were made to be happy, but you were made to be strong.

Sometimes it gets lonely, not getting what your heart desires,

But there is something inside of you that is burning even greater fires.

Once everything falls into place, the rest of your life will change,

And before it feels reassuring, it is going to feel strange.

You know you have to trust the timing of these moments that you will experience while you are alive,

Because every setback is catapulting you forward to ensure that you are able to thrive.

Some days may be easy, and some days may be hard,

But you have to keep pushing forward, despite the demons that will leave you scarred.

With every passing moment, you are one step closer to fulfilling your plan,

Even though your brain is telling you you can't, you know that you can.

You have never given up before, and now is not the time to start,

Because things are falling together, they are not falling apart.

You have been through this before, and you can get through it again,

Because this is only the beginning, and you know that this is not the end.

Through it all life can be messy, and difficult, and tough,

And despite what your brain is telling you, I promise that you are more than enough.
