To Whoever It May Concern
Words of encouragement in Epistolary form.
To whoever it may concern,
I know how much the hurt can burn,
I know its hard, when at every turn,
There is no help, no solution, no end
*
You get up, deal with it, barely
You lay down, sleep on it, barely
You get up, deal with it, rarely
You lay down, sleep on it, rarely
Recycle the cycle
*
Rinse, repeat
Recycle the cycle
There are pressures, but you keep going
It seems hopeless, but you keep sowing
Rinse, repeat
Recycle the cycle
*
What else can you do?
What else is there?
If you don't, who will?
If you don't, who will notice?
Someone
*
Sometimes...life
Life is just a grind until it halts
Don't get caught when it simply defaults
Try to slow the jive down to a waltz
But keep going
Keep going
*
Recycle the cycle
*
If life and love and everything is just a game
And you're not winning
Change the game and rewrite the rules
If life and love and everything is just for fools
And you're not laughing
Rewrite the game and change the rules
*
Best Wishes
X

Once again, inspiring and conforting while still being realistic and validating. You've mastered that.
Raw truths here. Love the 2nd stanza especially.
Very inspirational.. true, life can feel overwhelming sometimes.. changing the rules or your mentality is good advice definitely 😁
Damn shampoo bottles, trying to run & rerun everything, even when nothing is working & we're barely lurking around the edges of trying to keep up. Did that make any sense?
😊 Good one! 👍. Changing the rules is sound advice!
You drive a good point buddy, very nice 😊
