Whispers of Struggle

If every lie made me cry,And we counted all the times I’ve said goodbye,And every word was just for show,I would have drowned a long time ago.

It’s tough to believe the words people say,When promises fade and just slip away.They claim they’ve changed, they swear it’s true,But then you see them hurt others like they did you.They say they’ll be better, they’ll never betray,Yet their actions speak louder, day after day.With smiles for their friends, they play the part well,But behind…

Sometimes you can’t see the light,The fog is thick, obscuring sight.You feel trapped, compelled to hide,Fearing what you hold inside.But here’s a truth, a lesson clear,It’s hard to learn, but persevere:It doesn’t matter what they say,You’re worth more, it will be okay.At times you may feel ugly, steeped in shame,You’ll work to hide your inner…

When a sorry is held back that needs to be said,It ends up so quiet, a weight in your head.When pride or anger stands in love’s way,Regret becomes the cost that’s paid each day.Once there was warmth, now there’s only space,A gap that regret can never erase.Time moves on fast, leaving behind,The words left unspoken,…

Forget about the past; it’s already done,Don’t stress about what’s next; it hasn’t begun.Focus on now, make every second last,Because time’s always moving, it slips by so fast.Yesterday’s gone, tomorrow’s a guess,Right now’s what matters, so don’t settle for less.So use this time; make every step count,Find purpose and meaning in every amount.

I step in the line, I take the hit,Each time thinking, “This is it.”The sting cuts sharper than the pain,A quiet ache I can’t explain.I wonder why I always dive,When the hurt that follows eats me alive.But habits formed are hard to break,Even when my heart’s at stake.

Take my heart if yours starts to break,Let mine beat for you, for love’s sake.Take my jacket when the cold bites,Wrap yourself in it through all your dark nights.Take my breath when it’s hard to breathe,I’ll give you mine, just please don’t leave.Take my strength when the world gets tough,Lean on me when the road’s…

The words I said, unspoken too long,A weight on my chest where they don’t belong.I held them tight, afraid to let go,Now he’s gone, and I will never know.

What’s one thing you hide when you’re all alone?A piece of yourself you don’t want shown.________________________________________________________Who do you hold onto, though it’s hard to explain,Even though holding on just causes more pain?________________________________________________________What’s the habit you swear to let go someday,But you know letting go is going to be the hard way.________________________________________________________If you could speak freely…

Always be careful about what you say, For words can leave scars that won’t fade away. They may forgive you for the things that you’ve done,But those words will linger, like smoke from a gun.
