Keep Going

Time flows on like a river,
Days, weeks and months go by.
You do your best to keep up with it all,
But everything changes in the blink of an eye.

I was depressed, lost and confused
I had no clue who I wanted to be.
Now I have so much in life I am grateful for,
Blessings abundantly surround me

Still some nights I lie awake,
Wishing for the ease of before.
Because while I was so alone and sad,
I didn’t have to fear losing anything more.

Now I have so much in my life,
But I also have so much to lose
But given the chance to go back,
This is the life I would choose.

Because this is the world my son lives in,
My beautiful, intelligent little boy.
And while I fear any bad ever coming to him,
He brings me endless amounts of joy

So while life can seem worthless at times,
Do not let the dark times defeat you.
Because when they say it gets better,
They are speaking the truth
