Faith
When most people think of faith, they think of religion,
Faith is powerful, for it comes from within,
An inner peace that is found, above all the commotion,
The self is powerful, it versus the ego,
When expectations rule your thoughts, when dark clouds circle above,
You know you can count on faith, to turn it all around.
I’ve accepted that I’m going through a lot with life in general. There’s being stuck in a degree you see no future in, there’s parental resentment, there’s the want to be a rebel without a cause, there’s a want to be beautiful, but deep inside, I just want to be me. Sometimes in life, you just have to stick it out because one day, all your hard work will pay off. As they say, “there’s light at the end of the tunnel.” It’s waiting for you, but first you must tackle some of life’s obstacles. Sometimes, in the dark. It’s hard when you’re longing for guidance, support and reinforcement that you’re on the right track. We’re all human, and sometimes we go through a few lows on this roller coaster called life. What gets us through is knowing that, you won’t always be on that low on that roller coaster ride. For it will go high and above, and make you feel butterflies (the good type) when you finally reach that high. There’s work to be done, D. Just get through it. Push through because you know you’re better than what people think. Inside you know you’ve got this. Find that faith. It’s there.
“And hard times are good in their own way, too. Because the only way you can achieve true happiness is if you experience true sadness as well. It’s all about light and shade. Balance.” ― Gabrielle Williams, Beatle Meets Destiny
“Difficult times will come.” It’s a fact of life, isn’t it? There are good times and bad times in everybody’s life.”
