Sharing a friend’s post.

To walk in a mad world,
but not be mad.
To not imagine how it happened,
but know the all too painful why.
To mourn hope's demise,
but revive it from deep within.
To weaken at the knees,
but stand strong in my belief.
To feel broken,
but somehow begin the repair.
To have justice denied
but know it must come of my own making
To be empty,
but not full of hate.
To know despair,
but make short the relationship.
To have worth demeaned
but know my worth's meaning.
To have no words,
but find something worthy to say.
To have confusion be the choice,
but see my own way clear.
To be bitter,
but find sweetness in kindred hugs.
To have the game cheated away
but my life's practice soundly played.
To wallow in all this misery,
but wash clean in worthy mission after.
To be lost but keep the bearing home in heart's map.
To have the heaviness weigh two tons
but find lightness knowing I'm not alone.
To lose trust in so-called-friends and neighbors,
but find faith in those more mindfully close.
To want better in some tomorrow to come,
someday
beyond this day
whenever that time might come,
These are my pleas, my promises to self, my solemn prayer.
To whatever God or gods might be listening this dark morning.
