Intangible Tangent.

They say God only gives you what you can handle.
But lately I have realized that this cannot be true.
Every blow has the potential to blow out that candle.
So there is no guarantee that everyone will pull through.

What happens if you can withstand the disturbance?
Will you be constantly waiting for the next wave?
Imagine waking up knowing what lies behind the curtains.
Confined behind the undefined lines of a close shave.

Perhaps we all possess the prowess to overcome any obstruction.
But not everyone has the belief that they can persevere.
We are all victims of a much bigger incomprehensible construction
And there will always be some that succumb to that deepest fear.

What will you become if you somehow conquer all the obstacles?
Doing whatever it takes to ensure that you will survive.
Blaming others for what you have done refusing to be responsible.
Knowing this is the person you had to become in order to stay alive.

In the end we have no choice but to make do with what we can.
Hoping that despite the knock downs, we will still be able to stand
And understand that this world is based on the chase of the upper hand.
Because these are the trials that will either empower or devour a man.

I have been working on this for a while, I am not sure why but the words just would not come out. This whole debate has just been circling in my head for days and it all came from something my girl friend said. I just could not go to sleep without getting this done so here it is lol I hope it makes I was trying to say a lot in a little words as possible but still maintain a steady rhythm. I guess you can say this poem reflects my mood right now and how sometimes it just seems like the mountain is too high (metaphorically speaking of course lol). But I do not want to go into that otherwise I would be here all night lol anyway I hope you guys like it :)

There's a lot of truth in this, your words are really grounded in reality and experience, so that when I read this, I can picture times that I had where it was rough, I was stressed out and on the brink of giving it all up or falling over. I'm sure that millions of people experience this feeling but can't put it into words like this. 

Plus, "Confined behind the undefined lines," you really had me in awe at that part :lol: Great use of interior-rhyming :nod:
