Genesis 12



My pain leads to desperation
If I can feel my way
Through the darkness
I will find the light
The only time I will heal
Is when I choose to be real
That's facing reality
Working towards achieving my goals
Is not easy to accomplish
Setting realistic goals
Will lead me to success
Living for today will lead me
To the right direction
If I fall
It doesn't mean that I can't get back up
I cannot strive for the better me
Without choosing to be me
Therefore I will need an ambition
Everyday I have
 to work on self improvement
Cleanliness and organization
Are two things I have to work on
So I look at the problems
That I have to solve
So that I can evolve
Into a better person
