Life


What do you do? When you have nowhere else to turn? Where do you go? When the place you are at is literally killing you on the inside? Which way are you supposed to turn? When every direction you try to go seems to be blocked? Where do you go? When one door closes but another one opens? How do you know if that door that just opened for you is the way to go? How are you supposed to live your life? When you are constantly being told what you can and cannot do? Who do you get to turn to when you were the one everyone seems to go to? How much more do you think you can give? When you are running on empty? How much more do you think you can take before you just completely shut down from exhaustion? Where do you go? When you have used up all of your life lines? How do you survive on your own? When there is no one to give you that helping hand to move things along for you? How are you supposed to get around? When the basic materials you need keep failing on you? What are you supposed to do? When you are so close to finishing But fall short because of the decision you have made To provide or to achieve
