My Struggles impose pain but My positive thoughts heal the wounds

MY POSITIVE THOUGHTS KEEPed ME ALIVE WHILE MY LIFE OF STRUGGLES TRIEd TO IMPOSE PAIN
A feeling i couldnt explore, life overwhelmed my shoulders i believed
Academically deprived so as my anxious evoked
Willingness to live matter not anymore
Indeed "an empty vessel makes much noise"
As my vacant stomach grumbled with hunger
The ruptured core of my soul was bleeding
Imposed was a pressure on my tear glands
Yet all was hidden from the eyes of others
Covered by a lame smile
Confusion was a current roaming around the circurt of my brain
Choices i made fell in the ventricle of my uncounsciousness
Then was forced to ask "what is it that i'm doing wrong?"
No one could see i suppose
Stronger was i trying to get everyday though wasnt easy
With my invested faith i bowed, humbled myself
In my corner I shouted my Lord
It wasnt just an ordinary prayer
I could imagine Him, me and only us in that space
It was my first time feeling so humbled before Him
Words just came out by themselves
Tears proved my sincerely
"Lord..." stream of tears broke down
In my hand picture of my mother
All was i asking for was light towards not better life but towards His will for me
Darkness was on my side
All i had was His name and my mom's picture
How could a person be so lonely with crowed around?
A friend asked "could you lend me R200 you'll get it back next week"
Slightly laughed cause didnt even had R5
Shocked was he "And how do you survive?"
That was a good question
I felt ready to give an answer cause its been years surviving
"As long as i breath...I laugh and smile I do survive" proudly said
My psyche was begining to generate positive thoughts
Though life was still in fracture
