Why

Why are some days still a struggle to cope? Why am I constantly living my life in hope? Why won't my head stop and pause? Why do I now feel I've become a lost cause? Why do I overthink each and every day? Why must i always criticise all I do and say? Why am I not content with all I have around? Why is this invisible weight dragging me to the ground? Why is it some days feel that extra tough? Why am I always feeling as though im never enough? Why am I comparing myself against all the rest? Why can't I just be happy at peace and feeling my best? Why are they cutting so deep all these thoughts that I feel? Why is it taking so long, for my heart and head to heal?

Great question, Ailsa. What is missing?!! Keep searching... Easy for me to say, but the answer is within you. ~ Gershon

Another example of your ability to take risks and be honest in what you write. Each time you do this your confidence will only grow along with self belief. From a strictly poetry point of view your layout of this piece is excellent and truly focused on delivering your message in the best way for it to be read by those who would benefit from reading it. You understand your target audience. You have gone past just finding a way to let your feelings out. Soup mailing more on subject. David
