When Chaos Reigns

It would be so easy
just to give up on life

It would make complete sense
just to let go

the moment of anger is gone
it’s about keeping yourself sane
when chaos reigns

no one said it would 
be plain sailing
no one said you would 
feel no pain

it’s all about taking that first step,
it’s all about admitting you need help,

just uttering those words
would set a miracle in motion

it would make the universe realize
you’ve had enough
you’re ready to become 

the person you’re meant to be…

Very wise words, Wilma. Life is a struggle and if we fail to admit we need help, we'll never receive it. I hope people take this message to heart. Love, Carolyn
