Tough times

tough times make for rough rhymes
sighs and cries cry on the inside
abide by my life's struggles
and mugged by robbers of the night
disguised as neighbors of truths and joy
sent to destroy happiness of the blessed
guess the stress kept in my chest
I’m restless, breath less
moving to melodies of broken tunes
walking over tombs of history
making sure i make it out of misery
and leave it behind with the sands of yesterday
where hands of despair never touched today
make way for hope and heaven
keep your head up high 24/7
where dreams stay alive
strive to make better days
with better ways
crave for stainless minds
that wonder of insidious misconceptions
letting everything not an accept-ion
only to export an input an expert put in
so stay wise and keep your eyes open
to sunlight in dark caves
one day you will be saved
saved from pain and insane thoughts
i fought the struggle
and made it through
so can you
even with your back to the wall
there is a way out of the fall
so as days get colder
my mind gets older
but my shoulder never leaves
cuz i believe in you more than me
be free and spread your wings
fly with angels and sing
"i once was blind but now i see"
find the right signs and breathe
leave behind insecurities with deceit and disbelief
you gonna find some relief
no thief could steal your dreams
just feign for outlet
set a plan for days and nights to come
you still living under the sun
with rays to keep you warm and safe
and blue skies to keep you in place
replace that broken smile with spoken words
nothing is ever absurd
just as long as you believe in yourself
will wealth appear before you
its true that lies hurt more than broken tries
but before you begin to despise
forgive and remember
you are a member of life
and strife will always be there
