Life Is A Struggle

To survive

in the demanding world nowadays

you need perseverance

and hard work.

You have to have faith

that you will succeed

a good result

trying and offering.

And continue your fight,

because this is life:

an effort for dignity

and acceptance by other people

till the end.

Hope

Living in a tough society of people,

in a constantly changing world,

I learned to be optimistic and hopeful.

Every day is a struggle for survival.

Every hour and every minute 

I can win

or lose in a fight.

But I'm not going to stop fighting,

I will not stop hoping.

Survival

At the beginning of each day

I'm wearing my "armor"

and I'm going to win

my daily food,

I’ll pay my bills,

I’ll have a good life.

With dignity and moments of joy.

If I can...
