repeating struggle

where were you
when the weather changed
did you have trouble
waking up at dawn
looking for strength
to keep moving
was it just the thought
of a beating heart
that pushed you
to gaze forward
pressure on your back
to drag onward
to find relief at the end
hold tight
it is always bittersweet
the time you have
to love
before you struggle
once more
as the cycle
repeats
