Life Is a Struggle

Life is hard, every day is a struggle 
Mistakes been made with regret 
Friendships broken
Lives turned upside down 
Hearts torn in two, Not sure what to do
Where to turn next , what steps to take, before I mentally break 
Circumstances change in no particular order 
But life still seems so distorted 
People change, environment changes    but no words are exchanged 
Good memories are not enough to hold onto with hope in mind 
I'm lost and i need to be found , is life worth staying around 
Some one show me the light and say a little prayer before I get to despaired 
 what once was there isn't anymore , all I need to do is find the strength to open the door 
Walk free and fly high and don't look back , ten steps forward and no steps back

Writing about it is the the first step in healing. There is happiness out their, and though many of us never find it...the satisfication comes from us seeking it. When all else fails; give it to Jesus. There is nothing He cannot handle. Thank you for this honest poem, and the reminder that many of our brothers and sisters are still out there suffering.
