Slippin'

Do you ever feel like your slipping?? I mean you have a grasp on what you want, yet your grip is becoming weaker and weaker. It could be from loosing the handle on your relationship to your dreams waning away in the distance. We tell ourselves, “Don’t slip up. Get it together. Cant afford to go backwards.” After all that pep talk and motivation why do we still sometimes loose our grip? To many of us have failed at something not because we couldn’t do it or because it was above our level of thinking, but simply because we lost our grip. We slipped. How do we prevent from slipping when our objective is RIGHT THERE???

My legs are getting weak,
My dreams are becoming bleak.
I have nightmares on a regular basis,
I cant stop seeing their faces.
My hands are holding on but my grip is slipping away,
The thought of me failing is increasing day by day.
They say no struggle no progress,
But my progress is such a struggle I cant see success.
My knees are getting sore from all the prayer,
Life is a game but I’m not a major player.
I’m suppose to carry my family’s name,
I try and try but the end result is the same.
My father told me I would be great,
My mother told me if I ever wanted to start over it was never to late.
The motivation to succeed is lacking,
The foundation my family built is cracking.
The love I had for all of this is leaving me,
Battling with the world, I’m lacking the victory.
My eyes are becoming to heavy to open,
My thoughts are at quitting rather than hoping.
Someone throw me a life line I‘m on my way down,
I’m slippin’…catch me before I drown.
