Something to be grateful for

There's that feeling of despair
floating through the air,
fear just follows right behind..
There's a dream we love and share
we know we need to care but
we're drifting in and out of our minds..
There's that feeling of stress
it causes us to care less,
 we're just clueless
 as to what we can do
 to manage this mess,
your guess is as good as mine
still though everything's fine
that's what I always come back to
 in my mind,
despite feeling quite uncertain
there's always something
 to be grateful for,
we got food, shelter, running water
 and each others love
and that's really all one can ask for
especially when I think of
how many people don't have that
 in this world and yet
 I still feel that stress
manifest into
 full blown madness
 even though
 I barely know
what it means to struggle
which we all have to at some point
but I seem to stay dwelling on
 the collective struggle,
 not really suffering myself
 but just seeing the others
stuck in some shitty situation
 which I may or may not be apart of sends me spiraling down into sadness..
I feel so far gone sometimes,
that's when I reach for the pen
 to just release everything
 either straight up or
in some poetic form,
a place to
process anything,
 self reflect,
and let it all go.
Can't and won't
 waste the moments worrying,
don't wallow in the sorrow
as you did yesterday,
stay strong and aware through the shit
today and tomorrow
please don't quit or forget what
 your fate could be,
 it's you that decides.
