To Be Decided
Oh you are stranded on a mountain
you are deep down in a cave
you are in a burning building
you are threatened by big waves
There's a hurricane surrounding
The earth is quaking underfoot
you're marooned and you are drowning
you are in amongst the wolves
And you are paralysed and voiceless
you're exhausted and in shock
you're bewildered and defeated
you are hopeless and you're lost
But it is only metaphoric
it is only what you feel
you can cast off these illusions
because none of it is real.
No matter what you think you're facing
No matter what you think you've faced
keep on going, keep on trying
with whatever you have left.
If there is will to keep on breathing
then breathe deep and slow
and keep this one thing to believe in
you have more strength than you know.

J.D. I wish you peace, strength and happiness wherever you can find it, and if you found some of it in this poem that gives me a little bit of peace, strength and happiness too. Thank you.
