Torn and overwhelmed thoughts plaque every moment
ideas tossed around to judge which is better
flipping a coin will only verify help is needed
losing your head is all part of the game
you just need to let go and breathe.
Somewhere between incoherent thoughts reality fell asleep
a coma for life's nasty speed bumps
there never was a happily ever after in the books
just deluded fantasies spoon fed to make romantics happy
so many pro and cons to tally
that with one slip of the pen a wrong choice is made
but if that choice is made maybe it was destiny
fate stepped in and granted a free pass
to the secret of a pressing future,
There are risks
like riding a bike with no helmet
you know you could get hurt
but you pedal fast and let go of the handle bars,
the wind carrying a days worth of emotions away.
Struggling with each day
the sun rises to the same problems
juggling the good within the bad
one needs to release the pain
suffocating inside ones own mind
there never seems to be an end
A chance to fight has fell in your lap
instead of giving up
even when it can't get any worse
you stay
let yourself know just how strong you can be
not how strong everyone else is.
Author notes
somehwere along the way we all find ourselves hiding in our struggle between one thing or another and dealing with it all is too much, so we find a new outlet a way to release every emotion within us. Somewhere along the way the answer will come to you and things will eventually fall into place. eventually

I really like the ending. I keep reading it over and over again.
"Let yourself know just how strong you can be, not how strong everyone else is."
Ive been making myself stay here, because I know that is what any other person would do, to save other peoples feelings and only destroy there own. This has really helped me, thanks for writing it and thanks for entering.
