Push past the pain
It’s a mind over matter game
A battle of the fear of God over fame
My insides are yarns of madness my rent
is not paid, my credit score low, my loans
not approved, my bills overdue
Be resilient
In this time of testing faith
As you walk alone through gates
Be loving
In this time of “presidential debates”
As you laugh at letters from “our leaders”
Be loyal
In this time of being “eager”
For another interview, another job, another resignation
Resilience is breathing through tears
being grateful for another year, another meal, another need supplied
Resilience is saying I failed and tried in this life and survived.
