When Life Takes You Prisoner

When life takes you prisoner and your chains are hanging low,
You feel like you are trapped in a cage and nowhere left to go.
You feel, as if, your losing your mind and there is no escape,
It seems to be unjust, you must always wear the Superman cape.

Looking off into the distance, as you peer deeply at your life;
Your mind ponders everything, weighting the pleasure from the strife.
You wonder if it was worth it, or if you should have cared at all,
Difficulties are always piling up, until you're looking at one big ball.

It feels overwhelming at times and the world appears surreal.
Stop before you slide over the edge and driven crazy is how you feel.
There is something you overlooked, or forgotten among the mess,
Something should be said for making it and surviving all the stress.

It was your decision that brought you here, there's no need to ask.
I know there's plenty on your plate, but your viewing it at one time,
Try breaking down each problem, and fix each one you find.

The chains will eventually shift and break to free you from the fray.
All of life's problems will not be gone forever, but may briefly go away.
You're never given more than you can handle, or too much to bear.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and I see that your still there
