Reflections on Adulthood

 Wet and dreary are the days of this student.

It would seem prudent

To explain my case

But please give a girl some space

The life of an adult is about surviving

There's school, responsibilities, drama, fighting

There's change and heartbreak 

Sometimes it feels the burden is too heavy to take

And you just want to curl up and die. 

You easily could give in and lose this game of Life

But what would the point of your struggling be,

If you quit these labors that would've ended in beauty?  

A good friend told me, there is beauty after suffering

That God doesn't not allow struggle without rewarding 

So bear with the Cross, and pray for strength 

Yes, it seems this torment goes on in length

But there is a purpose 

And Scripture tells us, it's worth it.
