Analysis of Count down before Midnight



In the near distance I hear the silence but in the far sound of silence I heard a clock softly chiming every second chiming down to midnight the curtain's of truth unveils through the count down ever so distantly memories reappeared as quickly as they vanished back into the past they are closed to stay by the doors you have put up to make them stay away images haunting but not making it apparent to as why they linger into your thoughts without any reasoning then the clock keeps chiming softly as distance bell's making it's way to the final count down to this midnight hour then the final bell chimes so clearly no longer distance everything comes crashing down which was so far a way comes back beastly in front of your face the urge to rewind before the clock strikes midnight is no longer invading your mortal mind it comes like quick sand rebirthing you to the image's you could no longer stand between these gates you seen all your endless paths but at last you see within yourself you have not seen before a survivor of all of life's endless tests a page of a book to be turned ridding of any negatives they have been bestowed on you through your journey as life has passed you by your soul is stirring through out the chaos the pain the sacrifices you once had to make and directing you to a better brighter path life is to short to be consumed by anger or hatred or not understanding what we do not know or being a victim of life's twisted ways we do not understand or the reasons for it happening things happen for a reason which they statement hardly makes sense to me at different times of my life but for one thing I honestly know as I walked through the ashes of my own hell back and forth many times I learned through out the complete destruction I had to encounter to always to learn to have faith and to always get back up and hold my head  held high nothing is worth your misery as long as you remain strong and rebuild yourself as well as your perspective on thing's there will always be a light at a darkened tunnel nothing is ever what we except it to be ........ Life will always remain as a rollercoaster ride for some of us but as it stands out wide in the open it's our decisions we will  make to change new path's to a better outcome faith is something to have and never to lose our final sight on life is precious and a lesson all in one many tests and obstacles standing in our way but in the end you know what's worth fighting for and only you can realize that..
