Every day the world thinks we climb
Yet we struggle we struggle
Every day we continue to smile
Yet we struggle we struggle
Every day showing social media we’re fine
Yet we struggle we struggle
We keep moving on having some plan
Yet we struggle we struggle
We train and lift weights looking fine
TO COPE WITH THE STRUGGLE
We push people harder away
Yet we struggle we struggle
Going to bed means another day
As we continue to struggle
Pretty soon all you realise
Is we struggle we struggle
It used to all end with a line
No more more struggle
Times goes by made you realise
There’s strength in the struggle

Is this revealing or fiction. I'm asking myself this because if it is a revealing piece then serious consideration should be given to taking ones self off the treadmill of struggle. Continual struggle will do serious damage to mental health.
Hoping to see a more light hearted lifestyle reflected here for you.
It was the very first poem I wrote so some of its self reflection but some of it’s about how we show the world a very much difference view than what’s going on inside. But it’s about realising that you can draw strength from the struggle.
“It all used to end with a line” is how addictin can be used to try and fight the struggle.
I do try to end my poems with some positivity.
This group mps is a great place for seeing how poets use poetry as a self healing process. I was surprised to see on your profile that you have only read four of other peoples posts on here. I want to encourage you to read some more of them an join in with all the commenting that goes on. It's a great way of seeing other peoples thoughts and sharing. Online friendships develop and positive vibes are always in the air.
That strength in the struggles we each achieve shows us how to cope with each new moment in a better way and each moment then becomes more wonderful.

'a marching line
to - match
each unique struggles, reply
penned as that revealing infusion
of raw: fighting spirit
we call upon
while traversing those trenches
of life'..
a great distillation of self-mined insightful, commentary
weaving self-revealing potency of validity, within abstracted perspectives on society's misery..
a great read dear poet, thanks for sharing,
'we all started peddling
with our bravery, clutched
in the hands
of life's training wheels'..
