Good things to come

Every time something knocks him down I will always pick him back up. He's strong where I need him and I'll be the same in return. We'll make through everything, I know we will. Even if others are set against us.
Sharing strength is what will make it all work out, I know it.
As much as my depression eats at my heart and soul I know if I force myself to stay positive we will win through.
Just watch, good things are coming. I feel it so strongly I can practically taste it. They're here, those good things... And they're ours for the taking!!!

Is it worth it?

Ever feel like maybe you're second choice? Why fight for someone who obviously can do better? Why do everything to make them happy? Are they trying to do the same for you? Will they try? Or are they just going to take everything you give and leave you without what little you ask for in return?
Why be with me when you don't get what you're asking for? Why stay unless there's a real benefit? Why give back anything when I ask for so little to begin with?
By offering so much am I just being taken advantage of?
Will I keep giving and fighting if none of it is returned?
Will I be satisfied if I get what I want returned to me? Or will I just find that I wasn't asking for enough?
To give so much freely and receive so little?
I love and give trust so much, but is that what I should be doing? Am I going to feel used in the long run?
I am scared that I will be used... that I'll never feel things are even...
But if I give all these things that I am, and more, and it is returned in full, won't it all be worth it?!
So I continue to fight, to give, to trust, in hopes that my happiness will be there.
Please, to the powers that be, let this LOVE be worth all of the pain I endure for it...
