Where do I go from here, I say,
do I continue to strive, or walk away?

I've worked so hard, and given my all.
I'm tired, and worn, and starting to fall.

My focus has gone, and I'm starting to feel,
that the time that I've given, is not a good deal.

I've seen things, I never thought that I would,
I've learned to handle the things that I could.

I'm scared to go off on my own,
I depend alot on what you've shown.

My life has changed in every sense.
This one more aspect knocks my balance.

Where do I go from here, I say,
do I continue to strive, or walk away?

Continue to move forward and when your feeling like you can`t give anymore,look into your heart and you`ll find the strength.

Ruffryder,
You're right, I'm surprised at how many times I've thought I couldn't continue, and yet I always do!  Thanks for the reply!

*cheers* to you! just be recongnizing that there are many challenges in life is half the battle. Look within your heart and soul and you will realize you have many answers. And when the tough gets going, you'll be surprised for sure how far you can go. And the days you still feel as though you cant go on, trust in the Lord or whatever faith you have, but most importantly believe in yourself

Aimster,
Thank you.  I do believe in myself, but I'm very tired and worn out.  I wonder how I continue to go on sometimes...

I felt your emotions in your well crafted words. The time you gave was no waste-don't
make a decision in haste; Refocus and consider yourself-when balanced, look out for yourself.
Really Good

Tulip ( great name )

A lovely poem which is very honest and emotional. Remember that no-one makes you, and be dependent or no-one.

Love, Q xxx

Alle',
I made a very haste decision, but one I knew was the "right" decision.
Denise,
Thank you, as always...
Miss Queeny,
I'm standing alone right now, but my loyalty is in the right place.  I've just never felt so alone standing for what I believe in.

Just so you all know, this has to do with work, not a relationship.

Good poem, Tulip. Standing up for what one believes and knows to be right is often such a challenge, but one of integrity and strength, and you can take comfort in knowing you have both.

but I will move forward.
Haleyja,
I won't budge an inch on this one.  Thank you!
Sea,
Thank you, I always apprecieate what you have to say.
Meadow,
It's a challenge I never expected, only making things more difficult.  You think you have all you can handle, and boom, something else happens!!!
