Problems

Daily Writing

Problems.

In waves they come, 

building up each and 

every day.

Problems come

in various sizes,

from life threatening

to simple scratches.

Everyone experiences them.

But problems are a cancer.

They merely grow and grow

and grow and grow and grow

and grow and grow and grow and grow.

Left unattended,

even the smallest of problems

can become a plague.

It can instantly consume one's very will

to see another day.

It is the stone cold truth.

One problem 

can only be traded for another.

But it must be dealt with.

Letting your problems build 

will only make you weak.

Confronting them, 

overcoming them,

can make you strong.

There is no guarantee.

But there's only one way to find out.
