One of these days

And every day you pick yourself up
You go through these motions
Where at times you're happy 
And at times you're not
Tonight is one of those nights when you're not
Where you're alone and wonder when will I get there? 
Will it all be worth it? 
Will respecting myself and not settling for less worth it?
Will I make it? 
Am I respecting myself or am I just too picky? 
Are my goals too high? 
But then I take a breath and remember...
You can do this
Lonely nights are part of the deal of wanting something more than just a normal life
Being alone builds character
Respecting yourself protects and makes your dreams
And remember 
It is worth it.
