Revelations

by Risqué   Jun 6, 2018


It feels as though I'm drowning in this darkness;
the latest apocalypse.
Need I try so hard to remember
this is only a moment of strife.
There is forgiveness in the hearts of those I hold close
even though my mind tricks me to believe otherwise:
that I am worthless
reckless
careless
meaningless...

That. I. Am. Less.

I am hurt
and broken and battered and bruised.
I fail almost as many times as I try.

But I am precious.
And I am loved.
And I. Am. Worth. It.

How's that for a revelation.

    Very nice poem I like the contrast in it you say that I am worthless
    reckless
    careless
    meaningless...
    And you come and say again
    But I am precious.
    And I am loved.
    And I. Am. Worth. It.

    I fail almost as many times as I try.

    ^^

    'almost' being the operative and crucial word here. As long as you are trying more than you are failing, you will keep your head afloat.

    Take care
