Nothing is what it seems
Everything is lost with nothing gained
You’re all you’ve got, all alone
But that’s the point isn’t it.
Waiting, learning, preparing for the big moment
Cuz lets face it, even if you see it coming
You’re not ready for it.
Nothing will change that moment
A true test of character and strength
No planning, no fighting, no wishing
can change that
Something will happen, so big and so sudden
Forcing you to step up and become
who you were meant to be
Inner sanctum is the revealing security
Bad things will happen to good people
Everyone faces different problems
But they all come from the same place
When everything comes down to it
What really matters is you
Do you think you are ready for it,
Because it is coming,
Whether your, ready or not
It’s what you do afterwards
That counts

Yes, that is where the strong and the weak are defined. This is an excellent piece of work. Emotional strength and stability is important to keep life smooth and on the right track when those unexpected surprises hit you in the face. Can't ever let your guard down.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
