Gooey.

There is a faint reality to the act of losing hope.
People fall into a world, created by their own actions.
The mess they made would often swallow them whole.
So by the time they arrive at the edge of despair,
They're swimming in a sea of muck.

Which, By the time they've reached this fate,
have fallen hard.

So instead of sinking,
Swim.

Don't let your muckity muck be your fate.
Come to the realization,
that most of what you're facing is a bi-product of your decisions.

So decipher what is your fault,
and work through it.

Be honest with yourself.

As you do so,
You'll start to discover that some of these issues you face,
are caused by a force of habit.
Then you can attack that destructive habit,
and cure yourself.

It's hard though,
to look around the muck.

Have you ever known or seen a person with a perpetual scowl on his/her face?
It's that faint reality gone real.
The perpetual brown and black realisms,
that your life is stuck.
So you feel lost.

Don't let the muck win.

So set off on a self-discovery,
and be true to yourself.

If you don't know who you are anymore.
Set off on a self-discovery mission.
Surround yourself with positive people,
who influence you for the good.
Sometimes removing yourself from the equation,
the equation of your present situation,
might be the best scenario.

If this is the case,
those who care about you selflessly,
will understand this.
They might be worried about you,
but assure them,
That you'll be okay.

So disappear for a time being. find new venues.
Or if you can afford it,
leave to a new place.
Travel.
If you can't, as most of us are in this situation would agree,
Find new places to rest your head.
Sometimes new people are the answer.
Many times, people aren't the answer.
So find strength in being alone!
Go to a coffee shop and write.
Go to a park and read.
Become inspired.
Close your eyes and envision a new and better you.
As you do so,
clarify the actions needed to become this person you see.
Replace bad habits with new..
If you need help,
Seek it - counseling is not a bad thing.
We all have issues,
let someone help you work through them.
Find a cause you can dedicate yourself to.
Find spiritual guidance.
Believe in something...
Be a positive influence for good,
somewhere.
Be selfless.

Take this advice from one who's been there.
I'm currently working through my own muck,
currently brought upon by an outside presence.
Yet here I am.
I'm having to reinforce my core foundation.
I'm rediscovering me.
This happens.
Be humble about it.

To this end I write.

Don't let your muckity muck ruin you.
