Struggle

Let’s talk today aboutStruggle, the wordAttributed in hindsightBut seldom in the now.

All tell you that’s the pathBy going through painWe make ourselvesWe grow and be better

But how I wonderWhen we’ve also been toldNever to do wrongNever get hurt.

Calculate all the positionsLearn to think aheadAnd you’re stepping onGenerational wealthThat it’s easy to forget

Where’s the struggleWe ask, so casually.Like a forgotten cloudyAfternoon in summer

Where’s the struggleWe ask, forgetting thatI’ve probably completed mineBut to reach where I amIs another man’s struggle.

And yet when we look backWe see the beads of sweatThe smell that washing machineCan remove from our clothesBut not our memories

We didn’t know it when itHappened in the nowBut we do know itWhen we see it in our pasts

The struggle isn’t necessaryTo grow us.To make us.We should just make sureNo one is struggling becauseOfYou.
