Things Change

Tears may come now, but you will smile again,
Pain will go away, wounds will heal again,
Scars may remain, but they can shape and mold you,
So don't try to hide who you are,
But then know who you will be.

The world is round true, but it turns, constantly,
Down you may be today, stars you will face tomorrow.
Seasons come and go but things never remain the same,
A season may bring pain this year, but then;
The same season, could bring joy on the next.

Treasure the times, treasure the moments,
They fly by, past and gone forever.
When it seems you can't hold it in,
Let it out slowly, don't hold it in,
Let it go surely and then move on.

Life is a journey, a life-long one,
Whether it be comfortable or uncomfortable,
Know this, it can get easier if u move on,
So, smile through the tears,
Laugh through the pain,
Find the little slices of joy,
So you can be as right as rain.
Hold the joy in and find warmth,
Laugh through the pain and know peace,
Know and remember all through this;
Things never ever stay the same.


Growth

If you have ever seen a farmer sow seeds, seen the seed in the moments from when the seed leaves the farmers hand, to the point where it hits the ground? That is how I feel, unsure, not knowing where I will land.

Add the winds, add a storm blowing, add a lot of other factors and it sums up to a very shaky flight, that is where I am, unsure... Truth be told if things were as easy as we always think they are, life will be a lot easier to walk through. Sadly it almost ever is..

I leave the hand scared, cold, lonely. We were many when in the farmers hands, but now I am alone, I had the comfort of other seeds, I had the warmth of the farmers hands, but now I am cold.

I know my heart, I know my fears, I know what I may see by the time I hit the ground, and I will admit that I am frightened, worried, but on the exterior I am so calm, unruffled, hard as a seed on the outside.
On the inside, my heart is shaky, my mind is quaking, thoughts keep running in my mind of what could be, what could be going on and the consequences of my flight.

I know this for sure though, I will land, I will root and I will grow, no matter where it is. I will hurt for a while, I will be lonely for a while, and then I will shoot out and be my own man. Strong as I am meant to be, bold as I have to be, facing the odds with my foundation sinking far beneath the ground I see.

All in a little while...


One of them days

A morning, the beginning of a bright new day,
I haven't slept enough, but must still get up,
I up my hygiene, go down on my knees and pray,
Lord let Your will be done till the day is gone.
On a usual day, this would be a beautiful day,
Today I can feel a cloud, I feel something missing,
I feel cold, can't shake the feeling with shivers
There is an empty feeling that lingers

It is so easy to dwell on the cold, the shivers,
Even easier to wallow in hurt and pain that hinders,
Point fingers, push blame, riddled with grief,
Shot by bullets, from many a man's mischief.
Shut yourself up, so people won't see,
Tears keep flowing, won't let you be,
That space in your heart ever increasing,
The numbness it brings never ceasing.

I remember the sunny days gone by, happy days,
I remember the storms in between and I smile
Because I remember the rainbows in between,
Samples of love, promises of warmth to come.
So easy to forget when dark times come,
What it feels like to be warm and loved,
Easy to forget in pain, that its just one chain,
A chain which once broken opens the door to life.
