my struggle

poem by: Philip Pauff
Written on Jul 22, 2013

Here again I sit alone it is hard to be happy when your strength and determination are all gone.

 Self committed it seems to misery I look to the sky and ask why me

 I want to step outside this world to see if I could be free But still I know it would just be me

 It seems no one wants to be around someone who is broken You quickly realize who your friends are without a word being spoken

 It is like a monster of self pity has been created!

 I wish I could find strength in someone's arms But everyone I confine in fights back the roll of the eye's and yawn's

 No one cares it is not them!

 It is hard to stay focused on winning this fight because I am rapidly stumbling and losing sight

 I am as the song says fading to the black I hope I can find the strength to bring the man I know back

   my struggle countines

Phillip, that is a really moving poem. I am really sad to see what you have had to struggle with. I hope that you find some good people to confide in. There are a few glimmers of light in this dark world...
