Survival

Sometimes it’s hard
Do go on trying–
To put my soul into my work,
Only to have it torn apart–
Discarded at my feet

Sometimes it’s hard
To go on dreaming
Of better things to come
When so much of what’s happened now
Has left me hurt and hollow

Sometimes it’s hard
To go on smiling
Like everything’s okay,
Not knowing if I’ll still be able 
To feed my growing family

Sometimes it’s hard
To see the sun
Behind the darkest clouds,
When death seems like a welcome relief
From this never ending storm.
