Finding our way...

[Zooie]

What did we do to have such a life,
Filled with tears, pain, sorrow and strife.

It’s so tempting to say goodbye and be done,
To say I give up, damn you life, you finally won.

As tears fall from eyes that can’t see any hope,
We struggle to try not to reach the end of our rope.

But somehow there’s strength, a glimmer of light from the sun,
We wake up each day, tell ourselves to suck it up, and go on.
