Daily Write - Welcome to the Struggle

For those who want to give up and throw it all away.
For those who want to lay it all down and whine
Why is everything so hard? Why do I have to fight so long?
For those who have stopped in the middle of the road,
Refusing to continue on the journey that is their life.
Here is what I have to say.

Welcome to the Fight.
Welcome to the Struggle.
Welcome to Life that is not and will not ever be fair.
Welcome to the place where everything worth something costs.
And the price is never cheap.
Most of the time it will be your blood, sweat and tears that is payment.

Welcome to toil and burning the midnight oil
And everything you have ever wanted will always be right over that next mountain.
Welcome to the tunnel that extends farther than you imagined
That makes you question whether you were sane when you started down this rabbit hole.
Welcome to where your dream is the only thing that keeps you putting one foot in front of the other.
And even that feels like it is slipping away every now and again.

This is life, it gets no easier.
You push, you cry, you scream
This is existence. Nothing more and nothing less
A constant battle with fate in order to scratch from one level to the next.

For those who complain and have given up, just lay there and die
Life has nothing left for you.
Don't talk about what is owed, what is deserved, or what you feel.
Life does not care.

For those who still have enough piss and vinegar in them to continue on.
For those who are not ready for this journey to end.
For those who are willing to fight a little longer.
Welcome to the Struggle.
