A Blessed Mess

When I face the mess

Corruption and politics

Deceit, greed, and oppression

On the outside, unable to look in

Locked inside, unable to escape

Too young to quit, too old to press on

Only God can make a way

Through the mess of this day

The days run together

Nothing seems to change

Burdens pile atop each other

Crushing my spirit, depressing me

Why is life like this?

What should I do?

I have no clue to the what or the why

I must adapt

I must overcome

I cannot do it alone,

God enlighten me

Encourage me

Today, everyday

Until this mess

Becomes a blessing
