Survive

I do what I can to keep on going
Though sometimes it seems too tough
The strength to go on seems to leave me
When the going always gets going rough.

Yet the will is still there for me
And I know I have to continue on
Though it’s hard, the path I must strive.
I must continue to try my hardest to survive.

So many people depend on it
Or at least that’s how it seems
Perhaps it’s just my own twisted world
Some sad and messed up dream.

But no matter the trouble,
No matter the strain I endure
I must continue to survive
Of this I am sure.

A broken heart here
Pains in my body there
The lost of many a tear
The stench of many a swear.

Though wrongs it seems I do
I can’t ever seem to do right
I still struggle to survive
I have to keep fighting this fight

For I don’t know what lies ahead
Perhaps it’s a peaceful bliss
Or perhaps it’s that long awaited
True loves first kiss

So no matter what the difficulty
No matter what the strife
Deep in my heart I know
I must always survive.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This one I think speaks for anyone who's ever "been there, done that."  It is about the desire that most of us have to, no matter what is going wrong in life, keep surviving.
