Yeah, you know that feeling
Your head is pounding so hard it drowns out your voice; your thoughts
Your mind is parading through a thick forest of pain
And all you can do it sit
And embrace it all
And exhale it all
Because you have to
Up until this point I never knew why
Why we encounter these battles in our brains
But now I understand
It is to defeat them
Overcome the fears that we were brought up in
Surpass the habits we have become accustomed to
And drown out the statement of failure
For in each one of us
There are our own successes
That are fabricated from our weaknesses
But only come can OVERPOWER this masterpiece
A webbed mind of intellectual challenges
We are as broke as the penny on the ground
Unless we get up and do something with ourselves
Achieve things that are almost mentally incapable
Because we strive to
Because we attempt the impossible
Because we sure as hell can!

Kari,
  This is a very thoughtful piece, but in a positive way.  Sometimes we can think too muchand defeat ourselves before we begin by our thoughts--but this seems just the opposite--winning in what we do because we tell ourselves up front that we can, and thus do.  Thanks for the Positive Uplift.      David
