Im Struggling

I'm struggling
Bending and breaking
Like a tree in a hurricane
Trying to hold on
Yet everything seems so mundane

I'm struggling
Trembling and shaking
Like a child in pain
Trying to breathe 
Yet air is too hard to gain

I'm struggling
Hurting and wrenching
Like a soul going insane
Trying to break free 
Yet normalcy seems hard to detain 

I'm struggling
Though I'm still here
Standing tall
And moving on
Relief seems near
After it all
