Struggling matters
In the world where pain counts
Between the ups and downs
You can choose life or death
Would you let your breath a depth?
In the tunnel of darkness
Where you can only feel starkness
No sound escapes
But only the echoes scrape
Just hope the days to be better
Even though knowing changes won’t occur
Bad days will go away
Give time some time to sway
Have faith in your memories shining
Now feel the melody aligning
Life may be just surviving
But struggling matters rather dying
