It's another year on the wall

It's another year on the wall,
and it seems I'm not quite here.
I find I have exhausted myself again,
I need time to regain.
If there is one wish, one dream, one prayer, it would be
that we would look for answers and truly find them,
that we would seek God, and trust him.
I find so many times we take second best,
so many times we stop just short of Jesus.
Can we not see that nothing worth anything comes easy.
Can we not see that God wants you to seek him.

I despise ideas that undermine this life.
Things like
Life is shit, you are born then you die
Live the illusion
God helps those who help themselves
I won't change for anything

We are all Staind ...
what happens when we are shaken and find
we are awake, and see that this is it?
I am very much an optimist, and believe
that any obstacle can be overcome.

I can be distressed, but can't hit bottom.
Be scared, trembling nervous, and be fine with it.
Be vexed but don't leave what I trust.
The way I see it this life is a struggle,
but we choose what we struggle for.
