Congratulations…you have finally figured out that “The Struggle” is real. The pain and the suffering do exist. Not being acknowledged. Being told you are nothing. That you will never be anything in life. Living in fear of what’s next. Crying yourself to sleep and wondering when will it all end. Depression consuming what was once happiness. It’s all a reality. Being disrespected for what is misunderstood. Constantly being told that you aren't any good. A waste of space. An utter disgrace. Being told that someone else should live in your place. These words hurt, but welcome to “The Struggle”. No one will understand, yet they will harshly criticize you. What gives them the right you ask? NOTHING!!! Nobody has the right to treat someone that way. Plus, none of them are perfect and although you aren’t either, you still deserve respect. You failed to realize that and that flaw was taken advantage of. I tried to tell you these things would happen,but you didn't listen. Now you must realize…it gets worse. They will try their hardest to find the weakest points of your being to “low blow” you. They will say very hurtful things and speak openly about personal parts of your life to not only embarrass you, but to verbally SMACK YOU IN THE FACE!!! You will then reflect on your life to try and see what you could have done wrong. The thing you need to understand is, you haven’t done anything wrong or worth the suffering. That’s one of the worse parts. It's never easy to acknowledge the horrible truth. Especially when you are the one suffering. I hate to say it, but it will get even worse if you aren't prepared. You have already been dealt your “hand of cards”. Now it’s up to you on how you play. Will you fall, or rise above it? Will you be defeated, or rise victorious? Make the decision now. If you choose to "play", then WIN!!! Life isn't only a game but is also a force to be reckoned with so don't underestimate it by any means. You have been warned. Play smart or BEWARE! Take this given knowledge as power to overcome what lies ahead, because you have witnessed so much in little time. It will be hard to overcome what life throws at you and trust me when I tell you, no matter how hard the battle is, nobody wants to fall. Don’t give life the satisfaction of seeing you fall. Take control! Fight until the very end. Don't fall to the internal and external darkness. Whatever you choose, make it count! If you don't, all hope is lost. Don't be consumed! Don't Lose. Don't be the next victim of “The Struggle”.
