Struggle, struggle is life all in all,
struggle is you are up, and then you are low.
You think you have it, and figured it out,
turns out, you have not, you have no idea what life is about.
Struggle is a time in your life,
maybe a problem with a husband,child, or even your wife.
We live to work, not work to live,
struggle is a time we would all like to forget.
Struggle is life all in all,
we get up, brush off, just in time to fall.
We fall over and over,
pick ourselves up and yes, we wonder.
Why did I struggle, why did I fall,
that would be because, life is not ever a ball.
If life was not a struggle or a feat,
then writing a struggle poem would be easy to beat.

wondering why these things only happen, to me
