Struggles

Why does this way of life 
Create so much struggles and pain. 
When did this darkness begin, 
That Is caught within. 

Some struggles are stronger then
others....
People just don't get it or understand...
With no way to break away 

Fighting with addiction
Fighting with identity
Fighting with demons that have your mind all messed up.
Fighting envy
Fighting with insecurities
Fighting Suicidal Thoughts
Fighting with anxiety, stress, and depression
Prison
Jail
Drugs
Human trafficking
Drug trafficking
Abuse: mentality, verbally, or physically
Trust issues: lies and betrayals
Relationships: Marriage, boyfriends, girlfriends, family and divorce

Trying to find a place to hide 
Faking to be okay when really you are dying inside
Trying to escape the pain but it goes
On and on, around and around like a rollercoaster ride.
The turmoil of sorrow and hurt goes on. 
Unable to run away, 
One is consumed with all this pain and hate.

Then from deep within all that tormented cries
A voice you never heard before:

'God please help me' 
I can not do this no longer
I need you more now then ever before..

That was the end of the that struggle ride.
The descent of darkness has finally being broken, 
Revealing, that God heard all those many cries.
