Questions???

Anonymous

How will I show everyone who has doubted me I will always strive till i reach the top???
When will everyone who has looked past me realize I will looked past no more???
When will I start minding my own and staying in my own lane and boss up??? How long will I let a heart break control my mind, my heart, and my emotions??? When will my journey become easier???
When will be my next chance to lead???
What will I take to keep my head held high???
All these Questions only I can answer!!!
All these Questions have true meaning behind them!!!
All these Questions have true pain!!!
My life will be answered through these Questions!!!
My weaknesses will never show through these answers!!!
My strength will be shown through my actions!!!
I will not let petty thing or any set backs ruin my success!!!
If you seek darkness you shall find darkness!!!
The light will carry you as far as you need it to, but its up to you to make it the rest of the way!!!
Hatred will get you nowhere!!!
Love can be beneficial!!!
Trust can get you a long way!!!
But GUIDANCE, GUIDANCE will get you to the place you need to be to walk in the path of RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!
So the Question is what path will you walk???
