My Humble Admission
A
one time
admission
from me
that sometimes
I really can't see
I wake up
and everything
is bothering me
from my family
and friends
to problems to no end
health issues and scares
things I face each day
seems as noone cares
I know it's not true
But,
I feel like confessing to you
Tis nice to be loved
and admired
and expected to keep going
when you're so weak
and tired
Some days I don't
even want to get up
I fight with myself
to move
If I keep going
I know there's more to gain
than lose
Still refraining
and yet holding back
procrastination my reason
for slack
If I actually revealed
the things I face
Then you'd know why I run this race
I know at the end, if I faint not
the is a victory for me
it's my destiny
So,
I will go on living
go on giving
keep on walking
never stop
talking
spend less time
doubting
and more time
believing
that I am receiving.....
...........................
................
and then
in the midst
of all of it
you get this message
you know the one you never expected
and it makes all the difference
in the world!
In it, it answers
all your pressing questions
and makes you know
beyond a shadow of a doubt
that you got angels
all around you
they hear you when your heart speaks
when it hurts
they come
running....
I think
I might make it...
just one more day....
