Rise Up

A poem about rising up even when we feel weary

God, give me strength
because mine fails

I’m tired and worn out
like a deflated balloon

Patches and fillers
cover up the holes

How many more
can it take?

God, give me the air
that I need

No more breath
for those that are gone

Give us breath
so that we can all rise up.
