Struggle for Me

Feeling so empty and alone Despite the glimmer of a future so bright Pangs of the past still haunt the soul Clinging to the comforts of knowing what is to come Dare to dream I say, Dare to live Expect the best I say, Expect it now Accept the good I say, Accept it for me Live I say, Live out loud I seem to walk the right path for a day or two Until the comforting numbness consumes my soul Once again struggling for air As the darkness tries to pull me back under How many times can I pull myself up Unable to let go of this comforting pain How do I save once and for all what is left of me I want to thrive I want to survive
