The Struggle

Hanging onto a limb
In the eye of a storm
Can't see
Can't think
How much longer
Can I hold on

My grip is weak
Trying to hold tight
Can't see
Can't think
About to let go
It's too strong to fight

Beautiful, so many people go through the same thing. But you hold on, you refuse to let go, you get this strength, from where you don't know. Then you wonder why? Just look to the sky.
