An optimistic loner: Apr 14, 2008

Wishing for one careless moment

Future seemed closer but yet always far
The roads were black holes and vision not clear
I want to live now without any obligations and fear.
I hate the way because I never knew the destination
And now that I can see the destination but yet I cannot find my way
I happen to die everyday
I wake up for self-destruction in every little way.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
And the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When funds are low and debts are high,
And you have to smile, but you want to cry,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if your must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
So don't give up though the pace seems slow,
For you may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

– Edgar A. Guest
