Poem by Dana Young
Sometimes
Sometimes times are tough, but we gotta be tougher.
Sometimes our struggles are hard, but we gotta push harder.
Sometimes the road we seek isn't visible,
but we still have to walk it.
Sometimes the life we want isn't possible, but we still gotta live it.
And the goals we push for aren't achievable,
or believable
But still we must set them.
Sometimes our pasts corrupt our present
but still we must make a better future.
Sometimes the only things worth fighting for are unrealistic,
but we must make them our reasons for rising each day.
Sometimes it seems as if we are always failing, but we must
look forward to the moments we succeed.
Sometimes we can't picture good happening in the world, but
we must look past the bad in order to see the good.
Sometimes we want to make a difference, but we find that
nothing's changed. Something has changed, but it just
isn't visible.
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes we seek but seldom find
the joy in life, in yours, and mine.
That's because the joy we seek
is found in our actions, lifestyles
and in the words we speak.
