A new poem I wrote

"End of another Era- First Semester 2007"

Being pulled all four ways
Unsure where to follow
The choices you make
Effect your tomorrow
The cuts you invoke
And the compromises you take
Meld into your future
Every day you awake

It's so hard sometimes
Remaining so strong
But there are instincts you've had in yourself
All along

You know what is right, and you know what is wrong
You always find home even if the road's long

Sometimes a heart's strongest
When tested and tried
Still, long live the heart
That stayed strong while it cried

To those that feel weary
To those feeling sad
One thing is still certain
There's joy to be had

Life tests us and taunts us
It breaks all the rules
It turns failures to heroes
And heroes to fools

But fear not, dear friends
Relaxation's at hand
Finish strong and you'll see just how firm you can stand

Your mind wont be weary
Your brain wont be fried
Just think of the satisfaction
Of how hard you tried

At last you can smile
Behold, you may sleep
Forget all bad memories
But good memories? Keep.
