Struggling

Struggling to cope
Trying to forget
Always forgive others
But not myself, yet

Struggling against the dark
That pit of despair
Takes all my strength
But I still wind up there

My wishes are but dreams
That never come true
But then that is my life
It will be like that 'til I'm through

The brightest days
Are those where I know
I helped someone out
But that I rarely ever show

Struggling to find
The words that are right
To say what I mean
So I can sleep at night

It doesn't always work
But then when it does
I get a peaceful sleep
From heaven above.

I will keep on struggling
Day after day
It the only thing I can do
It's the only way

I pray for my friends
That their struggles are brief
That their days are better
That they always find relief

If you struggle as I do
Then know that I'm here
Always willing to talk
Or just lend an ear
