The Struggle
  ( inspired by the quote: No man is an island onto himself)

         It hurts to not find the right words that you want to say.
         It hurts when you see mostly clouds of gray.
         It hurts out to be caught out in pouring rain.
It hurts to be in constant pain.
It hurts to smile and not complain.
It hurts to feels stuck in the desert while desiring to climb a mountain top instead.
Sometimes it is difficult to just get out of bed.
It hurts to be sensitive in the midst of an uncaring world.
          It hurts to ask for help when preferring to do tasks by yourself.
          It hurts to be hanging on while needing to let go.
          It’s a struggle because through surrendering you can open up the heart to a new level of Love, joy ,and peace that you may have never experienced before.
          You don’t need to be a lonely island kept away and isolated all by yourself.
           You and I don’t need to walk all alone on this journey called life.
