Struggle

Struggle I struggle day after day, to get out of bed and go on with my day. I struggle night after night, just to get a full night's sleep. The nightmares are just to deep. I struggle to keep a fake smile upon my face, when the pain just wants me to cry. I struggle to be that one person that wants to be left alone. They say that I have courage in my heart, But this girl is tired of walking around trying to be brave knowing that I am not. I struggle to be a good mother, a good daughter, a good friend. I struggle just to take the medicine I have to take to be me. I don't even know the meaning of me anymore. I struggle to not have tears run down my checks anymore. I just struggle thru life in hopes that one day it will be better and the struggle will be gone forever.
