24 Times
by Daniel R Stout

24 times I hoped for God
24 times I prayed for a new tomorrow
24 times I hoped for the sun
24 times I wrote a poem
24 times I listened to the night
24 times I died a thousand deaths
24 times I drained the blood in my veins
24 times I looked at the sky
24 times the frustration mounted
24 times the music surmounted
24 times dirt filled my soul
24 times I had hope
24 times it felt impossible
24 times it felt impassable
24 times I conquered all
24 times I stood on a mountaintop
24 times it all seemed
worth it.
