Hardship

When life feels so hard that 
We want to take a breath 
When sleep feels like escape 
And we are the verge of giving up 
Love for others , love of them make us go longer  
We again push yourself 
We told ourself  to walk a little longer 
When life feels so rude and rash 
Some soft words of love make us go harder 
And fight for us .
Sometimes when we come to the point 
Questioning what is wrong or right  
Or why you are keep going like this 
When we have to do some tasks 
No matter how tired you are 
And the heart feels like ice and the body as stone 
Where we don' t feel a thing 
Neither  the pain of cuts , nor the broken heart 
And the question of what the purpose of living comes in mind comes 
When others are taking about how to enjoy the life ,
And deciding of their life 
And we are here on that one way road 
It sometimes feels so unfair 
But then yours words comes to my mind that 
Every life is unique in their own way 
We have some things that  others don't have 
And we don't have  some thing that they have 
We can't the lives of two person 
Can't compare the hardships of us to others 
We can't see their hardships just like you thought 
They can't see yours .
So I gather myself once again 
Doing what I need to do 
Doing without thinking about these foolish things .
