Its an on going struggle
Forever in strife
An everlong armwrestle
In the fight against life

Sometimes I am winning
I think I'm on top
But then I get slammed
I lose all that I've got

But I do not give up
I dont let it see weakness
For when you do that
Life will just be relentless
At slamming you

So when you go down
Dont get all bumbed out
Just keep on keepin on
Thats what life's about

Lucidity is the answer to all problems

Great poem, I relate

) I REALLY like this one!!!

Crystal

"The worst of what people do to one another is deceive.
Because when you love someone you control their version
of reality. If you lie to them that's like making them
autistic so that what they believe is reality is in fact,
not their true situation at all."

It's not the angry words that break the heart, it's the silence.

Someone said that true love is like a ghost -- often spoke of but never seen.
I've seen both and yet in my darkest hours, tend to believe that neither exits.
