Don't Quit

Came across this poem and I find it really meaningful. I think it would be thoughtful for me to share it with all of you. Here it goes:


Don't Quit

When things go wrong,
As they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is a queer, with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow-
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seemed so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seemed worst that you mustn't quit.



Inspiring, isn't it?

Finally!

Working life has been rather mundane today. It is a Saturday morning, whereby most of my friends are off and I guess they are still on their beds at this moment. Sad to say, work is still on for me even on Saturdays. I don't really like the idea of working on Saturdays probably because I cannot hang out late, doing what I usually do the night before.

Had roughly about 3 hours sleep yesterday night. Drove over at about 11 something to pick you up. A sense of elated broke the dreadful thought of having to work tomorrow morning. Probably it was because we haven't meet up since the last incident. Waited for roughly about 5 minutes and soon after, we were already on our way. When we reached, you look totally different. You seemed perplexed. Probably the surrounding of the area did made its way in disguising the interior ambiance of this place. I guess yesterday night was your first time there. Ordered our drinks and we were off giggling at the silly things that came across our minds. Well, I wasn't drunk or anything, but we really had a great laugh over everything! Of course there are times when we had serious conversations about our job, our life and the things happening around us. I felt so much relieved after voicing out on issues that we have been avoiding for quite some time. Regardless of whatever the issues are, we manage to overcome this little boundary by expressing our sincerest thoughts and opinions. I really think that things were again on a smooth track.

Drove you home after that and finally reach my apartment at about 2 something. Was feeling so damn exhausted. It has passed my 10.30 p.m. ritual bedtime. By the time I got home, my head had begun to take a slight spin. I guess the Draft has taken its toll. Still, my mind resist to take a rest, allowing it to freely reminisce on the things we did. It wasn't really an awkward situation, but rather, I smell freedom at the sight of you. Everything that we spilled out was so harsh and yet, it was so true.

I now feel as though there are no chains locking me up, nothing that binds that lousy feeling trapped inside of me. I finally realized that those vicious memories are gone.

I'm sorry to let you down. It has not been easy for me either. There are so many unspoken words that has been frozen deep down inside. I want to scream out all those words, but I choked each time I tried. Nothing has been easy. Every time I pushed myself harder, I felt as if I am pulled back even further than how far I've been. I listened to every words you uttered. Though it did hurt a little, I know that all you are doing has been for my own sake. I am really sorry to let you down from time and time.

As for now, I am shunning myself from the outside world, waiting for the right time to deliver what I've promised. All I am asking is just for a little more time.
