Each Day Is A Struggle Poem by Shalom Freedman

Each day is a struggle
A struggle to keep going
A struggle to stay alright
A struggle not to lose one's mind
A struggle not to give up
A struggle not to lay down and cry forever
A struggle to try and continue to help those one cares about
A struggle to maintain one's interest in things
A struggle to try to work
A struggle to not give in to one's own inner ugliness
A struggle to be fair and kind and decent always
A struggle not to give up
A struggle to continue to believe and hope
A struggle to not fear the end too much
A struggle to be happy in spite of all
A struggle to continue to smile and be pleasant with others
A struggle to enjoy when the true time for enjoyment comes
A struggle to believe God will make it all alright in the end.
