Everything Will Be OkayA Poem by Erica Ross
It's a love/hate thing with my mind and I
Cause in times like these, I'm my greatest in the midst of trials When my mind is telling me to leave it alone and tone it down, my heart says keep fighting, keep your faith tight When everything around me is trying to bring me down, I maintain a smile And even if you catch me with a frown, it'll be gone in no time Cause no problem can keep me down Man, sometimes living life is just too much work But I'd rather keep living it and just surpass the hurt Giving up is harder for a fighter like me I don't do defeat, and defeat never did me Then there are those days when I'm so close to crying Eyes are boiling, I say I'm fine, but I'm lying And then I hear a voice that says it's okay, you can let it out Cause I keep so much in, and whatever is in is always bound to come out When my tears are gone, I regain my focus Regaining my composure so no one will worry No one will understand my struggle, you will never understand my fury I'll take some things with me even when I'm buried But at the end of the day All that I know, all that I can say.. It's going to be alright Everything is going to be okay. © 2012 Erica Ross |
