What breaks a man

"What breaks a man?", I ask.

Man for woman, Man for man,

Man for someone, anyone;

What breaks a man?

As trees grow, so does man,

As time goes, so does one realize,

that anything can break them.

Visualize the trees, anything can break them.,

but not all of them, resilience.

So you ask, what breaks a man?

Is it the presence of failure or the absence of success,

or the lack of understanding that both mean something but nothing?

Is it the dawning of sadness or the setting of happiness,

or the lack of motivation to remind them why they smiled,

why they started,

why they never need to frown,

why they are still alive? Hope.

Is it the opening of the doors of hopelessness or the closing of the doors of opportunities,

or the fact that they obscured the sight of them creating a better tomorrow?

Maybe it is the plight of the flight they chose to take in life,

and the limits they hit and the boundaries they reached.

What has the world been telling you?

That you can't make it?

That you are good for nothing?

That your past will define your future?

That you should be intimidated by the reality others have created for themselves? Please stop, dream.

Dream that dream that people will say you had,

Climb that hill that people said you couldn't,

Be that man that people say you aren't...

That man who can't be broken,

That man who sees potential in his ambition,

That man who lives for today and for tomorrow,

for tomorrow, the sun will shine,

the snow you hate will melt away.

That man who sticks and stones may break his bones,

but his strong will will always and forever remain unscathed,

That man who has been broken and torn apart, 

many a times but still stands strong..

torn apart, for his inability to deserve better. 

You deserve better, or at least, the best.

But what will break you?

What will break you when your will to succeed is matched with work and determination?

What will break you if you see the darkness, yes, plus the light at the end of the tunnel?

What will break you if you can rise above your fears to reach for the clouds?

What will break you if you know you are where you are for a reason and season and will be where you want to be when it's done?

Nothing. Nothing will break you.

But just in case anything breaks you, remember;

What will break you is what will make you.

It's not about that addiction, that's fiction,

please let me explain.

It's not about that failure, hell yeah!

just let me explain.

It's not about that breakup or divorce he/she forced,

so let me explain,

It's not about the terminal illness, the death of that special someone,

skyrocketing poverty situation, no job, no nothing, hear this,

and let me explain..

It is about your resolve to keep pushing when the surface gets rough,

& when the going gets tough, being that tough one that will get going.

Maybe not today, probably not tomorrow,

something will try to break you, make it make you.

Make it make you what you have always wanted to become, thank you.

Lead, she said.

Lead, she said.
Lead my follow and I will follow your lead,
Fill my cup and bottle the lid,
Feel my hunger to grow and feed it,
Till my thirst to go anymore is extinguished.

Lead, she said.

She said lead me because she was afraid,
Afraid, she had too much to live for yet too little to die for,
Afraid that she wanted the world but couldn't find her place,
Afraid that she knew too much but spoke so little,
Afraid that you only live once but die within so many times,
Afraid that she knew where she wanted to go but still needed someone to follow,
She said lead me because she was afraid.

She needed someone to lead her.
Someone who wouldn't quit on her,
Someone who wanted to win just as bad as she did,
Someone who knew that winners never quit and quitters never win,
Someone who had everything and nothing to lose.. including the way.
Someone who didn't just talk the talk but walked the walk.
She needed someone to lead her.

Lead, she said.
So hear out a promise, a promise to lead,
for when we stumble we won't fall,
when we struggle I'll heed your call,
The sun won't rise where it sets,
so rest assured, where there's trouble our feet won't step,
In the jungle, our will won't sleep.
Even if the mountains might be steep, we will climb them,
The streams might be deep, we will swim across them.
And whatever comes our way,
Whether night or even day,
We will weigh the options,
grab the once in a lifetime opportunities we meet,
steady our feet, dance to the beat,
follow our dreams, as a team,
and maybe, I'll make her wish come true.
Lead, she said.
