Powerlessness

(credit to Sheri for the inspiration)

By Steve Bates 26 Feb 2024

 

Helpless feelings,

No strength to fight

Struggle in dealing

In a tailspin flight

 

Depression strikes

Confusion hits

​It burst the dikes

And gives me fits

 

PowerlessnessIs what I feel

The uselessness

​My will will steal

 

But wait, I found

A peer support

To come around

With a good retort

 

To fight and gain

My power back

I won't refrain,

I'm on the attack

 

I'll fight for me,

Myself, and I

And I beg of thee

You've got to try

 

You can succeed 

You CAN ACHIEVE

Just repeat the creed,

"I DO BELIEVE!"
