"Struggles"
  by African Queen


(title suggested by chocolaetreat)

The dilemmas we all face daily
Are our struggles to gain something
Make a difference or achieve the impossible

From the abusive parent or partner
Who you just can’t seem to leave
To the starvation that your family
Is going through because life is unfair

From the wars that we watch our children fight
So that freedom and equality can be ours
To the dangers that seem to erupt each day
Making it unsafe and difficult to just live life easy

Struggles make us and break us
Learning and creating a new entry
In our lives
So that tomorrow...
We can be better people

Indeed, struggles are present in almost all situations and they do have their benefits. Perhaps the struggle itself, perhaps not in the struggles themselves, but in the outcome. To learn from the past and to gain strength and knowledge based on what one has pushed through and overcome. Nicely stated, Queen.

I know I know I know! but sometimes can't we just have things easy.... why does obstacles have to shape us, lol, my bad just tired of stress but you right... struggles are not design to defeat us no matter how hard they seem, the aftermath is always better. like a rainbow after a storm.
