DISTRESS

Taking my pills 
Because I want to heal
So I can live in peace 
For so many years of tears
Many are tears of hurt
But some tears of joy
Because we  never expected love
Being named villain for so long.

Great is the suffering of a man
When he's not winning 
Greater is his suffering 
When he has nothing or nobody 
For it's not easy to live with nothing 
But nothing last forever 
The question is 
How can a man make it through without a pull?

When you doing your best 
But still get nothing 
How do you face this test
When you can't even eat or rest
Do we starve and die for our dreams 
Or we live, endure, so we can enjoy it?!...

And others take those gifts for granted. God lets life reveal both sides. I pray your best, with God’s open arms, will yield your daily bread.
Thanks ma'am
