reminiscing on the daily family occurrence

And lift yourself up 
Do not be discouraged 
Reach for the top
With a valiant effort 
Along with drive and ambition 
Just go for the gold

a silent scream
a bitter dream
could not cope
lost all hope
she went away
he hoped she'd stay

from the    passenger seat
she watches    life 
sliding past     out her window.
   so many u-turns
   so many deadends
   going the ‘long way’

the poetry has disintegrated
the inner voice trembled...
The beauty flower withered

Difficult waters may lie ahead 
Rise above those troubles 
And move towards the light instead 
Just find your inner strength
