How Can This Be Mine.... Poem by Lizelle 'Leasel' Martins

“Get up
And show up”
So they say...
A constant struggle all this is
An everyday battle
To carry on
And try and be present
Or just raise my white flag
Sad though..
No void would be left..

Life...
I can’t ‘avoid’ these curveballs no more
No willpower
No Strength
No fight in me left.
If we all have a purpose in this life
A higher calling
How Can this be mine
HOW CAN THIS BE MINE!
HOW CAN THIS BE MINE!

I am trying to be ‘present’
And it’s taking all of me
Piece by piece everyday
Till there is No More

How can this be mine
