Perseverance
I’m trying….
Struggling…..
To hold on
Grasp to what life I have left
To the remainder of my will
My strive to survive
Grip is loosening
My confidence is falling
Faith………..
The only thing keeping me afloat
Because sinking am I
In a sea of despair
Oceans of depression
My will is diminishing
Though I try to rebuild
Restructure….
Everything
Obstacles scorn my life
Yet, I maintain
Just barely
Optimistic I must be
Of the prosperity that awaits me
Hope…..
Remains alive,
But only through prayer
I must remember that while blessings are plentiful,
So are hardships
They must be endured to reach again
Contentment and happiness
Therefore….
Though I struggle
I hold fast to life
And am making it through-
Just barely……
