Inner Turmoil

I cry so loud, yet you never hear me weeping I stand so tall, though I feel like falling down I must go on though, life is so worth keeping As tears now gather, could make a person drown My existence questioned, seldom ever answered My thoughts then turn to the faces of the young My wife she looks to me for strength, so absurd For in my heart there are songs just never sung Yet, I must smile and move so steadily ahead While my body’s weak, with dreams to stay in bed I know so well that I must shake these feelings But each day just brings so much more new strife My inspiration lies within my loving family I give them praise, my children and my wife Without them there I’d forever be so vacant As dreams and goals would never take a shape So, actions now are ones I must just warrant And from depression I must then escape My family keeps me going as best I could For them I’ll reach the goals just as I should
