Poem: One Thing.

I keep telling myself

One thing:

That

All of it

Has to be worth

Something.

_____________________

All the sadness

That has lined my throat.

All the times

That they stopped to gloat.

_____________________

One thing

That always

Keeps me going,

Is the joy in me

Which keeps overflowing.

_____________________

One thing

I know for certain,

Is that

For as long

As I am breathing,

Writing,

Smiling,

Thinking,

Hoping,

It will always be worth

Something.
