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
