Make Yourself

never ask for easier
just get yourself better
don't bring this place down
just to appease your own space

 reach

reach up high

and then stretch

stretch beyond it all

until it hurts to death

until you find yourself 

long, strong and hard

very far above it all

tall and proud

statuesque 

despite it all

make yourself

the hard way

make yourself

the real way

make yourself

to last forever

When I read your lines I started to think how life can be so difficult for many. They really struggle to get anywhere, whereas others are handed it all on a plate and don't have to make any effort. That's where you took me. All good wishes David.

Disposition is the key (and luck with situation). I think at base we are all far more similar than we think. Great attitude and great luck when combined usually end up so well we attribute superhuman characteristics to the person. Very few get one but anyone can make the other. I've completely forgotten the point I was trying to make... eh... maybe next time

You made some sense to me :)

That's probably a subjective thing.

A tough call yet one can enjoy the uphill task. Thank you for this write. It hit close home for me today. Not that I am any kind of achiever, ever.

It's all uphill. Being born to die and all..
