Do I keep fighting or not?





One minute everything feels like it's falling into place and then then next it's falling apart again
I try fighting but then I find a million reasons to try and give up 
I'm so unsure and I keep praying 
Hoping that somehow I'll find the answer
My heart is yours it always will be 
But this telling me one thing and then going back to exactly how it was 
It doesn't work
You either want me or you don't 
This back and forth of I love you but can't be with you is worse than not having you at all 
I support you 100% all the way.
I am so proud of you 
I will always love you because you are the keeper of my heart. 
No one else will ever have it.

The Soldier and the Teacher


He protects our country
While she teaches the young minds
He is the hero to a child
And she enriches that child's mind

She leaves the school with a stack of papers to grade
He might not go home tonight because work might keep over
She will sit at the table eat dinner and watch the news
She will pray for the safe return of the soldiers overseas

He doesn't get to tuck his child into bed
or read him that bed time story
He is working hard not only to provide for his family
But to protect everyone's freedom

He's the soldier
She's the teacher
He protects your freedom
She enriches your child's mind


The more I read this I find myself believing that it's unfinished. I'm working on figuring out why I believe that it is unfinished.
