Sometimes

confronted with struggle 
countless emotions simultaneously juggle 
sometimes I win, sometimes I fail.
sleepless nights of wondering thoughts 
flying through my mind like fire works 
on the 4th of July 
sometimes their great, sometimes their horrible.
Restless days of guilt clouds my better judgment's
pressure of being responsible for others 
heavily hanging on my shoulders 
sometimes falls lightly, sometimes I cant breathe 
no matter what there's always a tale to be told 
like a wave it is never calm but always there.
