Rabbit Feet

Mama, bring me good luck for goodness sake.
When I look above He says give up hope
But I'll fight this war, whatever it takes.
This world breathes fire on me, but I must cope.

As the time ticks, my future seems shredded.
I keep losing my faith every day.
Mama said we all got luck embedded
But with luck everything would be okay.

Can't help but see the lies people feed me.
I try and keep focus but it's so hard.
Feeling like beetles, I scream let me be.
I wish He could deal me another card.

Just when I thought my heart would stop its beat
My mama came and gave me rabbit feet.



**I know this isn't "Part 3" of my anxiety ridden life but I am having trouble writing that, so I thought I would give you something to ponder. I wrote this poem when I was a junior in college. I was going through a rough time then too, as you can see. It's mostly about being at rock bottom, losing all faith but finding the good in this crazy thing we called life and lifting your head up. We all need to believe that times will get better when all you feel is pain and the truth is, it will get better. So, go buy yourself a rabbit's foot, throw that luck in your pocket and be on your way. LOVE is LOVE is LOVE and I am sending all of you so much of it today. Keep your heads high folks. "Part 3" will be coming soon enough... when I have the strength to write it. It is a tough subject and a very painful time in my life to write about, so a lot of emotions are coming back as I write it... so bare with me :) **
