Survivor

i cried today
because i have to keep on living
because what i have inside
i have to keep on giving
everything thats beautifull
that i give to the world
i've been given a sacred duty
that say's i must go on
dispight it would be easier
to take myself out
but i mean so much to many
it would tear their hearts out
i would love to see my soul mate
that was chosen for me
but now i see she left
so that i could be a better me
it was a tearful day today
as i spoke to God
we just got along perfectly
i did not even laud
i just saw Him holding my hand
and i've been set to say that
when you hear that song 
that means so so much
when you see that mountian
that the sky's they can touch
when you live in a paradise
like so few of us do
and when you fall in love 
and they fall in love with you
realize that is is God who is holding
your hand when you stop 
and ask about His plan

I'm sure He has a plan for each of us and how we screw it up and ruin our lives. A lot of depth in this to help us sort out priorities.

I look on it as a contract, one I can't terminate...this poem touched me, I don't think life is meant to be easy is it, and I guess we're all on our own personal journey...
