After Yet Another No: Still I Know

At my lowest of lows, still I know that I am the stuff of stars.
​I share base genetic properties with the mightiest of oaks,
The brightest super nova and everything under the microscope.

When I feel I can't dig myself any deeper, so far from my goals,
The weight of the world wearing down with all my regret,
Still I know that I am worthy and capable, with just so much in store.
I am and I can and I will, if I just still know, go, sow and grow.

My improbable existence is magnificent, even when I feel devoured.
All purpose is mine to define and relish, and yet so invaluable.
Whatever I decided, wherever I go, whoever I become.
Still I know that I owe the universe everything and am owed nothing.

Regret after regret, hurtle after hurtle, rejection, disappointment,
Still I know, though it may not show in my graceless dance in the undertow,
And all of their obvious doubt, my life and ability beckons so much more.

    With a year of delivering pizza, two and a half years as a barista, and some more time in the trenches, I have plenty of stories, thoughts, and musings. The days that threatened to break me all the while built me. I want to help others in my  profession view their work as an opportunity, too. This is my soap box.
