Light in the night sky

the struggle

We struggle

The lower class

The beaten and bruised

The lost souls

We fight

For what we need

For what we want

To be heard

Or seen

We struggle

With ourselves

With others

For others

But never ourselves

We love With no end

And expect nothing

We bend over backwards

To please the ones we hold close

But no one does the same

So, we struggle

Silently at night

When we are alone

So we look strong

When we are so tired

So broken

We keep everything inside

As we struggle

To find peace within ourselves

To find the path long lost

To belong.
