Thankful Anyway

everything I wish would subside
somehow continues to linger
trying to take it all in stride
to push through and endure
      self-doubt is always ample
      regret is unsophisticated
      my fears are never subtle
      although they are antiquated
at nightfall my thoughts are somber
why is contentment so elusive?
but in the sweet morning hour
my thankfulness is conclusive
