I struggle with dreams because they have to be fulfilled
I struggle with sleep because thoughts of changing the world keep me awake
I struggle with thoughts of my future children because for them I will have to provide and protect
I struggle with pain because I have to hide it
I struggle with love because I never want it to be lost
I struggle with time because I can't rewind it
I struggle because I hate to see those around me struggle
I struggle with your love because I have to accept it

Mr. Goyins,
ReplyDeleteI like this piece as well brother, I can relate to the "I struggle with communication because it is easier for me to write" line.
This piece is amazing. ;) The root of all these struggles is fear. I believe it is safe to assume a little fear is good for each of us because by working through them we are forced to grow, just like the "necessary struggles" you write about. The key is overcoming and finding solutions to these struggles/fears. Otherwise the overall struggle will become the struggle.
ReplyDeleteDoes that make any sense? :)
