The struggle
Though I snuggle
And sometimes smuggle
Persistently, it makes my mind muddle
Telling me, forever, this path I’ll trundle
In the juggle
I dance with troubles, feeling like a bugle
The ties that bind me seem to strangle
Yet I stand alone, like a solitary bugle
My feelings hidden deep, like buried treasure in a smuggle
Unseen, unfound, even with the keenest goggle
But have you ever wondered if I ever snuggle?
Do you care to know my favorite snuggle?
Do you realize how pain can sometimes snuggle?
Guess you don’t understand, time’s ticking, caught in the struggle
