Darkness is only measurable by the lack of Light

Every day.. there will be a new challenge... Can you succeed? Will you let them push you down? Prove it to yourself.

It's ironic that the speech I give my students; most of whom are growing up in an impoverished, gang infested war zone is identical to the one I recite to myself every morning. I don't consider myself weak, far from it actually. But I am human.. and to err is human.. and to crumble is also inevitably human as well.

It's just been one of those days/weeks/months/school year... I'm depleted. I miss the simple things which used to make me smile. Those who know me...probably define me as quite the sarcastic, mumbling...psychopath. Maybe acting is a better choice of career rather than medicine.. unless I am going into pyschiatry. 

Perhaps I'm just in self pity

Or overly absorbed

With my current situation

Nevertheless I feel the irritation

The continual stress and frustration

Not to mention the perpetual accusation

I have no energy to defend myself

Emotionally I am utterly exhausted

No time to be drained

Give me strength

In the midst of intimidation

When I need to be bold

Remove all hesitation

Maybe I'm just airing out

My loneliness

Or perhaps self-actualizing

Nevertheless myself I'm not despising

Nor others who get me down

Ask of me more than can be found

For I too live in flesh and blood

And have my limitations
