Go On

                      GO ON

Depression sets in once again. 

It seems that when life is dealing all the right cards,

some other power is cheating you blind.

Knowing this... you still continue to play the game.

You play because you know there is a good chance

that you will win the BIG hand, not because you have no choice.

Either you continue living or you give up, therefore choosing to die.

But even the latter choice is a gamble.       

What happens if you try and fail?

It sets you into a deeper depression,

enforcing your belief that nothing right can be done by you.

This in turn makes it impossible to try again,

leaving you to exist miserably in this cold, un-giving society

that human-kind has evolved into.

Who cares about you or your problems?

Have your friends turned their backs on you?

If so... They were not your friends!

You MUST believe in your-self!!!

To hell with what others think, say or do!

You matter only to yourself and the powers you serve

But whatever the case is... Remember that you are important.

As long as you don't put up a front

or pretend to be something you're not,

It doesn't matter what others think of you.

It is hard, but you must be strong

when there is nothing but weakness around you.

Life is a long road with many pot-holes and ruts, and

there are many times to come in which you will fall.

It is then that you must pick yourself up, dust yourself off,

hold your head up and walk on.

The ultimate goal is true happiness. It is out there!

But you have to walk the road of life to find it.

You can't be content with the first `cozy' spot you come to.

Keep walking, and always trust your heart... your mind will lie.

Never be afraid to step off the beaten path to make your own path.

It's a gamble, but such is life. Go on... Take another step!
