Brass Balls
what do you know about
the raw, dirty side of things?
where blood meets shit
filthy side
bare knuckles to the walls
because you're too bull headed to just quit
for real side side of things
yeah I feel your struggle
i've been around the block
a time or two
to learn that
life is a poker game
& your bluff is constantly being called
because it takes true character
to lay it all down day after day
pick up & keep moving on
when you just want to lay down & die
yeah I know you
I understand pain is a game changer
you either get more powerful
or collapse under the weight
it'll break you if it can
it's a test of will
to see who has more fire in their belly
you or it
the journey is long
it's ball busting, cunt crushing hell
& it hurts
to get kicked down so many times
not sure if you have it in you to get back up
but you do
to learn something new
each time you're down
remember gold is found in the Earth
you don't find it
staring at the clouds
waiting for heaven to come save you
grit your teeth
& hang on
life is a mean motherfucking bull
just waiting to buck you
throw you down
& trample your ass
for being too weak to just hold on

And you know it's daft, Brenda, which you see as a good way out. Knowing it. I'm working on working out and will see you at the gym :) ? All my friends were addicts. I was addicted to them.

Brenda.. i feel this.. the true meaning of life, is not found in history books.. to be an addict is a breed of it's own.. no therapy or magic cures.. without a manual, we fight on.. into my list it goes.. my sister, you share so much of your soul.. i'm so glad i get to read the wisdom you bestow.. love you always..

The truth is, life isn't good to some of even the best people. It degrades them until theyre no longer the best. This I know is true. Keep writing truth, Brenda.

Life’s a bitch at times, brings a fair amount of pain for sure. But yeah, we have a choice - keep getting up or give in.
Getting up and showing life what you’re made of seems to be a pretty good option ;)
No one can put it quite like you <3

In life as in nature, the strong survive, and likewise, sometimes it takes a self supplied kick in the ass to get us jump started.
Powerfully inspiring write, Brenda, an enjoyed read.

My love such empowering words you have brought forth for us....words which we should never forget and keep close to us at all times...they speak louder to me now then they would have in the past several years...always hang on and always fight as you have done through so much yourself...inspiring is what this ink is!
I love you fiercely
yours always & forever
