My day will come?
One day at a time?
One achievement,
one goal met,
been told my day will come.
****
So I mustn't give up?
My feet are heavy.
My heart feels weight,
of the years of dust
Settling on my soul.
******
Yet I must believe
in miracles,
in love,
in the good in the world.
belief diminishes in my soul.
******
When I keep being
told no.
I back up,
Realign,
and try again.
******
When will
I smile genuinely?
Laugh whole heartedly.
Celebrate life
of mine and theirs?
******
Even though
I give up,
the creator
wakes me up,
again and again.
*****
Another day,
another chance,
to believe for
one more day
today and for tomorrow.
******
dreams may come.
dreams may go.
I walk a path
to make my dreams
are achieved.
******
One?
Just one?
show me just one,
that a big dream
may be possible?
******
Perhaps,
love is a lie?
perhaps,
Dreams are a lie?
Feels like it, today.
*******
If I awake,
I will try again,
tomorrow.
Because the Creator
Says so.
