Poem about Life Struggles

Poem About The Confusion Of Chasing Or Sacrificing Dreams

I am a 21-year-old Civil Engineer from India. I am usually a happy writer, writing poems about nature and puppies. But a year ago, I lost my father to cancer and my whole life took a turn. I am no longer the same bubbly girl I used to be. I am not that comfortable talking about him to others. So to not fall in depression, I write my feelings down through poems. I have updated a few of them on my Facebook profile, too. But this one I wrote last night and have not shown to anyone.

The Strings

Published by Family Friend Poems September 2015 with permission of the Author.

The knot is strong,
The strings are tight.
It won't break loose,
No matter how much I fight.

The grip is fierce,
Disguised in every tear.
I wish to overcome
This emptiness of fear.

I know once on my own,
I might not survive.
But there is a mere chance
For me to be alive.

The cost of losing the bond
Could be my biggest mistake.
But I am done living
A life I can no longer fake.

I was really touched by the poem mam. My good friend's father also died 2 months ago, and I am really trying to do whatever I can. Giving them time, my love and support. But I don't know how to help them to recover again and get involved in this life again. I know it is not easy but its not impossible. I can feel the pain but I can't feel how he is feeling. I don't want them to stay like that because later it will result into the worse. I know you will understand my problem.
I also love to write poems but I will be really grateful to you if you really tell me the poem or words that can heal and give them a new way. Because I really want to write something but not finding any words to write. wordless
