One Love for Tough Times

I like to be fairly open with my life so people can either get inspiration from me or have some good words for me. Last night while I'm playing, what's quickly becoming a hobby of mine, some nightly poker I was thinking about everything I'm going through right now and how much uncertainty I have to deal with. So what's going on? Right now I never know what Starbucks I'm going to be working at due to my restricted schedule and some, God forgive me, idiot running through and demolishing my home store. No one was hurt but I am displaced and I'm struggling. My internship isn't panning out how I hoped it to but I will know more, again hopefully, soon. Lastly, the major I declared 2 years ago is now at the risk of being phased out. A meeting on May 8th will have a final decision, I've been told. I still don't know what I am going to do if it's cancelled. So with all this in mind I went back to my roots of how I deal with my struggles. Writing. And here's what came of it. Everything is raw so only a few small edits have been done. I like it this way:

One Love for Tough Times

yes, i am depressed
feelin a little stressed
i can't rest
feelin like everything's a test
I'm sure my face shows it
as hard as i try to hide it
use my resources
trying to fight it
but there's one Man
one Plan
one Friend
and He'll see his plan to the end

I've gotta stay the course
run the race
fight the battle
when time and choices seem thin
i've gotta pick up myself
and fight for the win
i've actually got no choice
just one choice
and that's His
and I'll honor that and give him praise
pick it up
get back in the race

seems like so much to do
and so little time
a cliche
i'll go ahead and call it mine
but only for now
there's always more time
i'll just lay another rhyme
watch it glow
feel it out
touch its flow

so maybe i get a little down
i just drop a prayer
get back in touch
put the words in the air
maybe a few tears and a glossy stare
but nothing compares
to the love He shares
one love, two friends
eternal life, for the win
