Hold On

I know these are trying times for a lot of people. People are out of a job, salaries have been cut, bills are higher, and the list goes on. I understand that during these times if something else were to happen in your life outside of the dysfunction world we live in, it could make things worst. For example the death of a loved one, the birth of your first child yet you don’t have the money to take care of it, or even the basic fact that you just don’t think you can handle all the stress placed on you by your job and/or your social environment. I can’t lie and say things are all gravy on my end either. They are far from it. But WE got to hold on. We can’t loose our grip on what our focus is. When I say focus, it does not have to mean getting rich or being the next top model. It can be just to make it to tomorrow. Your focus could be just to survive. We can’t loose our grip no matter how intricate our focus may be. I’m right here with you. Trust me because there are days where I’m like, “I won’t be able to take this much longer. I quit”. No matter how rough the road gets or how dark the skies become we MUST HOLD ON.

I know your tired of crying,
Your tired of everybody lying.
Times are getting rough,
And you want to quit because this is too much.
Hold on…
I know how it feels when it seems no one cares,
You try to make it better through all your prayers.
Trying to work, go to school, and you just had your first kid,
But you have to raise it alone, your baby daddy had to do a bid.
Hold on…
I feel your pain when it seems you have no one to talk to,
You feel all the pressure and weight of the world is on you.
I understand you miss your loved one who passed,
Now you got a little money but you don’t know how you going to make it last.
Hold on…
I know your angry your not where you want to be,
Everybody’s complaining about you and you cant seem to get along with your family.
Your money is short but your bills are rising and rent is due,
You are trying your hardest but you don’t think you can pull through.
Hold on…
Hold my hand when you found out your best friend was shot,
Cry on my shoulder when everyone told you, “You COULD NOT”.
Lean on me when everyone left you alone,
You got this…Just hold on!!
