Its not easy

It’s not easy

Have i lost the will...
 Am i still even breathing?

Beautiful thoughts. strapped down
Compressed beyond the ability

To maintain the appearance 
of keeping it together.

Looking, for any sign 
We are not alone

Trying to catch a feeling by which 
We might find it easier to rise just one more time

Trying to avoid the countdown 
Beyond which we feel like giving up 

As if, dying is easier than living
Killing easier than forgiving. 

Being erased 
Easier than face our reality

But if you can’t find the space…
You don’t have the time for grieving

While …searching for a lighthouse
Seeking a beacon to mark our position, 

Fellow travelers in life, resisting being swamped 
By forces which assail our existence 

Which seem to come with tremendous waves... 
Challenging our ability to survive 

As we try to cope 
to provide hope 

To ride the storm 
which spontaneously arrives

and the ability to keep on swimming
keeps dwindling...

leaving us on the verge
of leaving our last prayer

a testament to heaven, lost
Within the tides of our lives
