Sometimes

Sometimes, it's really hard for me to see the good in things.

Sometimes, it's really hard for me to forgive.

Sometimes, it's really hard for be to be grateful.

Sometimes, I want to throw in the towel and just mope.

Sometimes, I don't see a bright future, only pain and fear.

Sometimes, I say hurtful things to those I care about.

But you know what?

This is only sometimes.

I work EVERY DAY to see the bright side, to realize that my petty problems are just that-petty.  Although sometimes I fail, I pick myself back up and consciously try to make those around me (including myself) happy, peaceful, aware.

I admit defeat.  I admit I have issues and faults but damn it, I admit that I TRY!

Sometimes, I just really need to get guilt off of my chest and realize that I try and trying is such a wonderful, wonderful thing.
