It is hard to see the good through the bad.
Especially when all you do is cry and feel worthless and sad.
Looking back on the mistakes you made.
Taking for granted everything you got paid.
Feeling as though you are getting closer to a black whole.
Wondering how you even got this far after such a long toile.
Then on day you choose to stand and not fall.
Not giving up and stand tall.
Guard is up and always scared of what tomorrow bas in store.
Praying that something changes and you come out better then before.
Believing things are the way they are for a reason.
Even though you feel you’re being punished for treason.
Yet still through adversity you somehow are still standing.
Ready for the ride to be over and with a smooth landing.
You tell your self things this bad can not last forever.
Thanking God everyday for our family being together.
So, even though times are bad.
If you look hard enough you can catch a glimpse of good and smile not to be sad.

A triumph over selfish
by Moeze Lalji
Stand tall
Even if the boss
Is out of his mind
Your shoes
Must not engage
As responsible
For the anger of others
Distance yourself
It is hard to see the good through the bad.
Especially when all you do is cry and feel worthless and sad.
Looking back on
by Honey
When you think the worlds against you
Stand Tall
When you think it won't get better
Stand Tall
There are always choices that
can
