I once believed
I had purpose
until I let myself
be convinced otherwise.
I think that’s what
it means to hold on
to faith-
you aren’t easily persuaded
by the things that you know
aren’t true.
Why would I live
my life like
I am worthless
and treat myself like that
when I truly believe
I am deeply loved
and given purpose
my God Himself
