“Just a bit more.” I say to myself.

I don’t know how much I can take.

“Heart, stop pounding!” I say to myself.

Maybe a few more cups of coffee will do.

I’ll have merry time with friends.

Just no more suffering.

No. Not even for this job. Not for that friend.

I will refocus my mind.

My faith in God and newfound peace are at my core.

Even when life grabs me by the throat and says ‘Just a bit more.’

Patience persists as a gold nugget.

Stress may drip all it want

In my bucket.
