Trying To Make It Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Wandering and exercising beliefs of life, undergoing
many changes through years past.

Too much opinion and not enough compromise, because
of an innocent immaturity, showing itself outright
for everyone to see and hopefully understand.

Not enough love and caring, never any understanding,
just trying to make it through life on sheer will power
and nothing much else.

Hoping for the best in life, but living in poverty all
the time, yet sure as the sun comes up in the east,
knowing that eventually I will come into my own in time.
