what is it all for
when you have to struggle and be seen to be struggling just to keep in the struggle
and most of us have been there
trying to catch our breath
wondering if death is the only way out

but we have risen beyond that constant stream
found dreams that we believe in
and they could be as simple as
breathing deeply and
letting things go.

so
what is it all for
and
what does it teach us?
that life's not a picnic
not a parade in the park,

I'm still in the dark
but the answer is somewhere
between catching my breath
and ******* in air,

just waiting to be found.
