One Hungry Soul

I desperately clutch my blanket of negativity 

Deep ruts of despair dictate my thoughts 

This is all too much

I can’t do this 

My inner monologue seeps toxic waste

Polluting what I think and say 

You in me calls it out  

I lift my eyes to the Lord 

Where my help never ceases to come from 

In You Lord, my God, I put my trust 

Don’t let pessimism triumph over me

Show me Your way

Teach me Your path

The only rut I desire to be in is Yours

Amen
