THE
STRUGGLE
Those
days when it’s a struggle to get out of bed
To
get those bad thoughts out of your head
To
those days I want to say ‘get lost’
I
want to let go of the negative posts
Let
go of the angst and worry and pain
Let
go of the heartache and explain
To
those that care and those that don’t
Why
I can’t find love with those that won’t
Love
me back with all they have
I
opened up and gave and gave
My
barriers came down, my wall demolished
All
to no avail as nothing was accomplished
I’m
back to square one
Alone,
alone and always alone
Never
thought this would be my life
I
just wanted to be someone’s wife
Someone’s
mother, someone’s whole being
Their
reason for living
Now
it may be too late
I’m
shutting the gate
But
despite you all
Somehow
I’ll find the wherewithal
I’ll
climb back up, dust myself down
Plaster
that smile on my face, play the clown
You
don’t know what you are missing
I’ll
pretend not to care although my heart is aching
You
weren’t the one for me
Now
I can see
The
wood for the trees
There
is a light
Burning
bright
As
I look up and see
A
rainbow just for me
Strengthening
my resolve
I
let my pain dissolve
As
I take in the beauty above
And
feel the love
Of
nature in all its power
The
droplets of rain in a shower
Proving
there is hope
As
I watch the kaleidoscope
Of
colours above my home
Anticipating
things to come
I
leave the maelstrom of fear
Ready
to love again without tears

Oh man, so much revealed without spelling it out. This one feels quite powerful and full of emotion. Really shows the pain that can accompany loving unconditionally.
