I Wonder If the Quotes Are True?

How is that for positive thinking...

By Benita GonzalezPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

They say without struggle there is no progress

But they never tell you when the struggle will end

And when the progress will begin

They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

But how strong does one have to be

Before the battle is finally over

They say there are no rainbows without rain

But they never say when they rain will stop

And the beautiful rainbow will appear

These scars are they story of my life

They define me

They make me

They are me

Without them

there is no me

But I wish things could get easier

That the quotes were true

Maybe they are?

And my time hasn't come yet ?

How is that for Positive thinking....
