"deep Thoughts"

My world keeps going even with no feelings on the outside, sometimes I feel like I'm living a 
lie. Things don't seem to matter much anymore. my life has changed so much from the way 
that is was before. I feel caged in this cold world, but I know that I have to strong because I 
have a eight month old baby girl. I'm trying to be the best woman that I can be, but 
sometimes it seems as if nobody else can see. I wish somebody else could understand the 
way that I feel, my thoughts get so deep sometimes that they don't seem real. I feel like a 
candle just burning, waiting to go out, I pray and ask god what my purpose here is all about. 
I sit and I think about my life every night, I try to figure out what I'm doing wrong and what 
I'm doing right. I try and I try to go the right way, it just seems harder and harder every 
single day. The tests that god allows me to go through, they make me stronger, but they are 
still very difficult to do. I just don't know how long I can be strong, I just need the lord to 
help pick me up and carry me along. I'm sure that somebody out there can relate to me, but 
all I can say is just keep your faith in the lord, and happy you will always manage to be.

this is a very beautiful poem about struggle and the faith that it takes for things to get better. just remember jennifer God would not give you anything that he knows you would not be able to handle. he makes things harder and harder so you can your true strength. I hope things get better! keep the pen flowing! love, Kelsey Marie
