Life's Little Ups And Downs

It seems like just when you get something figured out...

It changes, or a new problem replaces the old one

Life.....it's such a complicated issue, yet so necessary

Why does everything seem to happen at the same time?

Long stretches of bad things, upsetting your world

Then a period of good things, almost balancing it out

Some people are capable of facing anything, or so they think

But all of a sudden, the load becomes more than they can bare

So they re-evaluate their own strength, and make adjustments

We are not invincible, even the strong can be weakened over time

Too much sadness can bring down ones own self-esteem, yes even me

I used to think I could handle anything thrown my way, but...

I got a rude awakening, I can still be weighed down trying to help

You can only cope for so long and eventually you have to admit it...

You are not strong enough to fix everything that goes wrong

Maybe everything can't be fixed...a harsh reality but often very true

A person can only do so much, before they see they can't do miracle's

It's rather interesting, many people refer to me as an angel...

I don't feel like an angel...What is an angel supposed to feel like?

I am just me, human in every way you are, extremely caring inside

I really don't have all the answers, I just do what I know best

I just be myself...I care...I show compassion...I respect others

I try to be the best person I can possibly be, and yes at times I fail

That comes with being human, we all make mistakes and we learn from them

So if I take a break from life's worries and troubles...I only ask this...

Please try to understand I am doing it for my own well being

I am not doing it to cause pain or frustration to others
