Slow down
and take a breath
I know it's hard
but try to rest
The gears all spinning
inside your head
Life hasn't dealt you
what you'd expect
Longing for
a simple touch
Sometimes it feels
like way too much
Responsibility owned
Feeling alone
Soul so heavy
it's too much to carry
Pushing through
the hardest part
Resist the urge
to harden your heart
It will not last forever
though it sometimes feels it could
You are not forgotten
it's all working for your good
Standing there
before a wall
And in your mind
it seems so tall
Too tall to climb
you know it's true
The only way
is to push straight through
So break on through
to the other side
You've come too far
to be denied
Push on through
that paper wall
It a facade
and no wall at all
Looks like a wall
Actually a door
And once you open it
You'll see much more
On the other side
you'll find
Freedom, love
and peace of mind
You're expected
so come on in
I'm waiting here
for you, my friend

Ack! How do you do that every time? I'm struggling today and that was just what I needed to hear!
Awesome
I think this might be one of my favorites that you have shared. Wow.. it can be interpreted in several ways. Love it.
I may just have to read this everyday. This is my #1 pick so far!
Could you give me a pep talk like this on a daily basis? It is to difficult to stay down when you keep posting such uplifting things!
I've been wondering of late what genre of music these songs would be if they were ever recorded.
That was just what I needed to hear. You are amazing! Thank you!
I just love this! I am a poetry fanatic, and especially ADORE rhyming poetry. thanks.
I like the comment on the "paper wall." Great metaphor. Not to harden the heart is the hardest part for me. Not with my children but all the others around me.
Beautiful...as usual!
Love it! Have a great day :)

Nodding.
