February 13th

"I am weary, O God. How can I prevail?" Proverbs 30:1c

just flat worn out
from the continued snark
that poses as conversation
and the words that cut deeper
than any two-edged sword.
tired to the point of exhaustion
by the folks who just cannot
help shredding the souls
of folks they don't even know
simply to score points in 
some sort of game i never learned.
dog-tired from all the slobbering
over folks who are paid obscene
amounts of money for playing games
and those who accumulate more
and more while sharing less and less.
weary?
doesn't come close to describing
life in most moments some days,
so help me to just push on
(with you giving me nudges from
the back)
