Starting to Count Again

When I'm overwhelmed.
When I want to hide.

Can't I be the ostrich with its head in the sand?

When I struggle to pray.
When I struggle to do.  Anything.

When the loudest voices shout:
"What are you whining about? You have an easy life! What's wrong with you? You're just lazy. You have no excuse. You're worthless at everything you're doing."

I KNOW I need to fight...but I have no fight in me.

I KNOW I'm not alone...but I FEEL alone.

I KNOW the truth...but the lies are louder.

I can't pray. I can't fight.

But I can count.
