Life's Struggles

Each and every day goes by  The struggles I face make me cry  It's become harder to keep a straight face While depression increases at a rapid pace  The joys in life start to fade  As the bills pile up I haven't paid  Listening to my children laugh and play  Gives me hope for another day  God never gives us more then we can handle  I take a bath and light a scented candle  I prey to god to help me live  Honestly I have nothing left to give  I just want to live a happy life  One day become Henry's wife  All the obstacles in my way  Makes it harder to push through each day I no longer can see my future ahead  All I see is black cloudiness dread  Theirs so many struggles in life  It seem hopeless and I pick up the knife.  I had asked for help before it's to late  With the way I was feeling I couldn't wait  I want to be here to see my children grow up  Watch them help raise their little pup  Their is light in the darkest tunnels if you look  It can come in many forms people or books  life's not worth ending because money is tight  So join me stay and fight.
