Unsettled

I slept with a beating heart Woke to the same rhythm Like African drums from far I feel my soul cringe My body leap with fear I think death more often than not There is an unsettling I cant explain Sometimes the source of pain is clear Other times too complex to figure out How my tongue no longer taste My mind has gone numb Life essence is lost As the clarity of worthlessness is evident Once I thought I was more than this Now I'm completely unsure... In the midst of it all I choose to smile To raise my hope above once again I had to become sure of all I hoped for I celebrate every day I wake up to And above all celebrate me All that I am and will be I am valuable, I am priceless
