at this point,
I am
far from a pessimist
I have many days
past and present
contemplated
My existence
My worth
My future
as hard as it sometimes will be
or has been
I hang on TIGHT
to My wits,
to My dreams
to My Faith
Intangible
yet valuable
They are the beat
of My heart
when sinister
self-destructive
thoughts
attempt to
infiltrate
My mind
causing Me
to focus
on the lack
rather than
the abundance
I snap out of it
and then with all of My might
hunker down
pray
and
hang on TIGHT
(**and recite: Romans 8:28)
