Struggle

A Poem

Life is a struggle.

The depression is to great.

How do I overcome it?

Do I need to battle the dragon within on my own?

Indeed there is no white knight to save us.

There is no king to fight for what we need.

There is nothing on this earth that will help us.

We are all alone to fend for ourselves.

The hurt radiates from my body.

Struggling to find the strength to not breakdown.

The hurt in my eyes, the radiation of my heartbeat increasing.

My mind asking, "Did you settle for less?"

I settled for Less of a family who never loved me.
