THE STRUGGLE

I struggle with the memories deep within my mind
I struggle with the past, like a spider web that binds
This life that seems so wasted, so filled with tragedy
This life that somehow faded ,emotions lost inside of me

The struggle seems unending, despair is at the door
Then through an open window, I see the sun once more
My heart beats wild with hopefulness, my eyes mist up with tears
My life that had no meaning, has suddenly been cleared

The web has loosed its grip on me, I'm free to stand again
The power that I thought was lost, has returned so strong within
Defeat is just a memory, I'm filled with such elation
The trials of life continue on, with God I know I'll make it
