Believe

Some days just feel like shit
Pouring your soul into what you do
People pull you down
Progress, maddeningly slow
Will it ever happen?
Walking along our way
We give our heart away
And doesn't it just make the journey
Beautiful
But sometimes they hand it back to us
And turn down another road
Leaving us alone. Why?
Other times
We don't even know our path
We're pushing, changing
Obstacles, seemingly endless
Making a mess
As we fight our way through
But, I ask you
STOP.
BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU ARE
Your light cannot go out
Please just know
That you are beautiful
Your work
What you add to the world
Is amazing, breathtaking
Your rejected heart?
It's beauty makes me weep
Because this poet can see it
Even from this befuckled, broken vantage point
For what it's worth
When things just suck
And are at their most difficult
Know
That there is at least one
Who believes
In YOU
