Gosh! Would it kill me to breathe?

I've prayed countlessly, but that's excessive weight on my knees.

I did something wrong, I just know it!

All this talk of success, and I can't even show it...


It's out of my hands, there's nothing to do.

It seems stress has made me a shrew:

I'm analyzing outcomes with an empty stomach and a sick head.

It's ridiculous to know how much I'd rather be dead.


Still, I can't just not  continue.

Not when aware of my potential - my possibilities.

I don't know what I'm getting myself into.

Regardless, that changes nothing, considering my tantalizing dreams.


It's human for me to think in doubt and discouragement:

"I might not."

 "I probably can't."

"What if I ruin this?"


Except "I might can" strengthens me to continue.

"I probably will" helps me take risks.

And "What if I establish this?" brings more motivation than strategies ever will.
