This is one of my very favorite poems. The frustration and dilemma in it is very real for many people. It becomes a difficult decision that they have to make. What they decide..... determines their life.
*******************************
Pain in a Dream
Everyday, a dream. Everyday, a pain.
Everyday, a wish. Everyday, just this.
All are connected in this part of life.
You can't have the dream now, without the strife.
For what you achieve, the work that you do.
The place that you go, the pain is there too.
It's just one more thing, one more hurt, and now what?
Is this now the time when you just give up?
The hurt could just kill you. And you understand,
One more swift blow and that could be the end.
In doing that though you would lose all you've gained.
You fight in the day, and you cry out at night.
But God hasn't forgotten you. You're there in His sight.
He loves you, He helps you, He knows how you struggle.
When you're beaten down, He pulls you out of the rubble.
Don't give up on your dream. The pain might come too.
Just cry in the night, then stand up and be you.
Don't let go of your dream, for it's all you've got.
Don't let the pain kill you, live the fight that you've fought.
Pain is the fire inside of your soul.
And the purpose behind it maybe someday you'll know.
