Analysis of Your struggle



so much drama, each day filled with intense mental strain
even tho you did your best, not an inch did you truly gain
all you tried and struggled to change got worse or remand the same
tho others truly played there part you choose to take all the blame

gods gift to you, three beautiful young fragile needy souls
as you struggle to give them all, each day takes its tolls
choices now seem so unclear, answers impossable to find
struggling with the weight upon your shoulders, much more on your mind

you begin to falture,uncertian which way to go, blindly you tried
almost beat down, not yet ready to quit, in your pillow you cried
as life continued to fall apart, you made the choice to turn and run
hoping that in escape you would one day again see the sun

now your there so distant, working hard to find a brand new day
desperately fighting each new battle, hoping to find the way
stop, look in the mirror with an open heart, see what you have become
so many trials you have survived, so much you have overcome

you have taught three young souls to stand strong, never cease
have faith in god and all that he gives, slowly joyful days increase
when you lay your head down to sleep know how very far you have come
and always remember the mistakes of the past do not make your total sum

Tamara Hart

hello I am a 50yr old mother of five and grandmother of seven. i just recently married my best friend of ten years, i dont know what took us so long, all i know is that we were meant to be he is truly my soul mate. about 20yrs ago i wrote all the time i managed to put together a book of poems called growing pains but as i am poor at spelling and punctuation and there was no such thing as lap tops and no spell check i trusted a close friend to edit it, i failed to keep my own copys why i dont know well i never saw her or the book again. most of the poems were painful dark heart felt poems because my life was in a really bad place and i felt like a fool for trusting her. well i refused to write after that for a long time then life started getting better as i grew and searched intill i found my self i started thinking about writing again but as i had only written from a place of intense pain i had no idea where to start so i wasted 20yrs of living what i now realize could have been great verse. than on the night of my wedding i wrote two souls joining and my new husband got his first look at my verse and was impressed {of course he is biased] i often tell him that if the world could see me thru his eyes life would be a trip. well anyways he started encouraging me to to atleast write ten min a day. well that was sept 13th and i feel as tho i have found my voice again and this time i found my self able to write both happy and sad. i look forward to sharing my work with all of you and injoying all your wonderful writes as well. and who knows maybe someday i will come across a book of poetry called growing pains and all that will matter is that its being read. i wish you all many great writes and i thank you all from the bottem of my heart for the time you spend reading my work thank you for the input. be blessed more…
