When the going gets tough


At times you think you’ve hit rock bottom
And there’s no way of coming back
You feel the universe is against you
And that life is never going to get on track.

In times like these it’s never easy
Positive words begin to suck
The entire world tries to motivate you
All you feel is that you are out of luck.

BAD TIMES DON'T LAST
- that’s all you have to remember
Be Grateful for all you have
What you don’t, was not yours ever.

Life is beautiful – you've felt it before
It’s all going to get together
Embrace the good, let go of the bad
Soon you will look back and feel better.

  1. Hey there, all okay with you?

    This is a beautiful poem of life and hope. Could be the theme song for 'The Shawshank Redemption' :)

  2. During my bad times (and believe me, there have been horrible moments) what kept me going was a simple line - This is not how my story ends. I knew I was capable of more. And I knew no matter how bad I felt, a day would come when this would be just a scar and I would have moved on.
    And I have. The scar remains but I have moved on and become a lot more in life than even I ever imagined.

    1. That is indeed a great line. I will remember it when I need it. I know things have been hard at your end even though you never share it. The way you can make others laugh even in hard times is motivating in itself. You are an inspiration Doc! :)

    1. True that. There is no life without hope. Those who lose it eventually feel life is not worth living for.

  5. Life is definitely hard for everyone. Moments of silent suffering. This too shall pass and it will be hardly remembered.

    1. What is life without challenges! And luckily for all of us, suffering ends. We have more happy moments than sad ones.
