Image for the poem the struggle is real

the struggle is real

 
I'm struggling, not doing too good
guilt sticks me when I slip
I look skyward and say
this is too heavy for me

I want to jump ship on the pain
my body is a traitor
I can't think straight
I don't know how to bear the weight

I ask to be delivered of this burden
but I am told it is mine to shoulder
I must withstand the trial
and yearn so I will know what it is to suffer

the next life isn't promised to be easy
an evolution of a soul in progress
I am on a journey of discovery
uncovering worlds in the process

it's my heart's desire to travel space
without conquests it would be boring
no looking back
we can only go forward
