Simply hang in there

When acceleration is desired greatly deceleration happens

Expecting triumph at your gate failure comes as guest

Dreams are invited for a ride night mare sneaks like thief

I may say just hang in there you are millimeters away from goal

Belly laughs and melodies replaced by churlish deep sighs

Good health says slow farewell to you when you needed most

All you invested and counted on surely disappoints you for a while

I may say simply hang in there the coin can flip any minute

Loved this poem ! Riding the tides and knowing they come in waves helps on the days you feel like you are in over your head. Words to live by. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for the review, you made me humble by your words, as poet Jacob said in review it is a real challenge, but we have to overcome some how for sure, take care

i like the juxtaposition of positive and negative in this...

reminds me of growing up...every positive reinforcement came with a negative...
makes it a real challenge to hang in there.

i like this poem lots.

Thanks a lot for the excellent review by projecting the core message as a real challenge when positive and negative too close, so glad you liked it, take care my friend

So true and well said. Coins have two sides and might flip any time. Tail or head. We have have either successes in life or failures but we have to hang in there and keep the hope alive...Excellent...:)..............

Thanks a lot for the fabulous review Sami, just keeping the head above water is all needed, a boat will definitely will come or a tree branch to hold on, or you will be come to a shore partially drowned and unconscious, still CPR and ambulance will revive you, so still have to hope, take care mississippe

You are welcome...:).................................

Expressive and well written piece. Lives as part of its unfairness disappoint us sometimes and as you say “you are millimeters away from goal” and I believe in it. If we believe in ourselves, determine our goals and work for them eventually we will achieve them. I enjoyed reading your poems!
