Life

The truth of life is it can take you down
So much hurt and pain it spins you around 
Take it from me their will always be
Struggles in life you will see

I grew up without a father
You treated me like a daughter
Your sexual molestation ruined my life
I started cutting myself with a knife

You turned my whole family against me
The only hope I had was preying to god on bended knee
My mother started to call me a liar
Which in return fueled my hate fire

All these years I thought it was my fault I was to blame
But I was fourteen you were the adult it's not the same
You were right if I told my mother she wouldn't believe
But finally breaking down telling my friends was a big relief

I spent my teenage years bounced around
Not making a sound 
For the hate that I dealt
Came from the pain I felt

Until one day a family could see
All the pain I had inside of me
They were patient and kind
Gave me a peace of mind

They taught me how to love
And to look high above
But I was to far gone
My anger caused me to do something wrong

Now I am 29 dealing with so many issues
I cry so much I run out of tissues
My depression was under control the past was finally the past
Then I began to work and I could feel it wasn't going to last

I felt myself slip deeper and deeper
How much longer can I hold off the grim reaper
I am not one who is liked by many so it is said
My job hangs by a thread

Everyone trying to get me fired
It's made me so tired
Their is to much anxiety and stress
I felt sticking to myself and being quiet was best

I see now I was wrong
People toss you around like a ping pong
When I open my mouth to speak the truth 
I feel cornered in a booth

I have been on medical leave for a year
I fear death is near
I try to keep my head held high
But the stress and pain makes me want to die

The best mother I have even known keeps me going strong
So everyday o listen to my fight song
I can't give up I have to keep fighting
It helps to keep writing 

My children need me now
So it's time to stop being a fat cow
No matter how hard life can be
Someone has it worse you see

Get on the phone
Because your not alone
Even when u feel you have nothing left to give
God gave us life so we could live.

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.
