Living While Waiting
Living while waiting
Waiting while living
Life never stops...
moments keep coming
even if you barely made it through the moment that just passed.. No one gets it..
But you have to keep going..
Tears start rolling...but the responsibilities are still present,
swallow the sobs, but the tears keep coming..
the fog rolls in and the weight is consuming..
The load too heavy..but you have to keep going..b
reathe ..wipe off your tears breathe ..
suck it up ..get out of the car..
Breathe and hold your child's hand into the grocery store..
He hasn't realized you were crying.. You're okay.. Breathe..
Keep moving..
Why the black clouds..
Why are you breaking down..
the feelings are overwhelming and sometimes sadness is all too consuming ...
But why are you sad you have so much to be thankful for...
Yes I know I am blessed.. More than most..
But things get hard.. My emotions are My emotions and My feelings are deep...
They say pain demands to be felt and my pain is just so deep..
So let me be .. Don't push happiness on me because trust me if I could just be happy I would but I have my days, my hours, my moments when it's all too much..
Living while waiting...breathe ..
Waiting while living....breathe ...
She always pulls through ..she always puts back on that smile and she never gives up...
So just give her time..you don't know her inner struggle..
As she works hard just to keep it together... Be gentle in your words.. And just let her be
