Difficult life

I need someone to help me

I need someone to understand,

What it is that life means

And how we’re supposed to live it,

When the control is taken out of our hands

How can we choose our own destiny?

When others affect and change the world each day

I want beauty, I want love,

But instead there’s hatred and destruction

And there’s little I can do to alter this,

So my life and my right to exist

Is in the hands of others who don’t give a shit,

So what am I supposed to do?

How am I supposed to choose?

How to live my life the way I want to do,

I need someone to help me,

I need someone to understand

Because the way I see it now I cannot plan,

A life that I want to live

Where I choose to share and give,

Where I feel good my kids and gran kids can grow old

But uncertainty is rife,

Will they experience a full life,

Or will fear be something they will have to live with in the end,

As our environment and world teeters close to the edge,

Of destruction and self extinction.

    You can only do what you can do to make things better. These days life isn’t easy, but it never has been. You live one day at a time and do the best you can.
