bravery


(poems go here) oh sweetheart, I see destruction in your eyes you bring around that dishonest smile, that manipulating disguise to try and secure your unsteady mind. you feel you are ready to fall, to give up to just stop knowing you need that smile you wear so righteously understanding you cannot hold back your inner continuous frown faking for so long now there goes those distressful tears rushing down. i know you cannot take it much more I see your painful smile you may not know, but i see your inner soul my child. the eyes are the gateway, the entrance to the soul your sweet sad eyes array, your sweet sad eyes show that you are living in a mind full of war fighting your painful soul one day sweet child love will fill that deep hole. learn to love yourself for you are a dark, tragic , beautiful, indulging story. do not let your shame over power your beating heart, do not let hate consume your inner benevolence self, let it go in order to pause your heart from becoming sour, from becoming tart. Forgive yourself my dear, For jesus will eternally be here by your side, he will never leave you alone during this spiteful ride. Let it be, do not let misery be your company Smile with those bright eyes for you are a dark, tragic, beautiful, inimitable story be patient young soul soon will come your sunrise, soon will come your glory. Listen to the wise man when a wise-man says unto you “depend on faith, hope and strength for a lifetime, these three possessions will help conquer all, will fly you to the light when the dark has made you fall .” fight through your pain, the light will shine upon you one day. do not hide anymore, do not hurt anymore, do not drown in your shame you are a diamond in the ruff waiting to be claimed. When you have won this battle of life your battle wounds will not cause you so much pain, you will come out realizing what it is like to truly be brave you will come out with wisdom you will come out with strength you will soon see acceptance is part of being brave accepting of the world our hearts hurt for do not fear this world it is quite wonderful trust in me i have seen it all not just the images of beauty but the beauty of mistakes and the beauty of lessons and the mystery of change in order to survive we must find beauty is every misery. Do not dwell my dear, the unfathomable question of all; "why did God put me here; just to see me fall? soon you will see, soon you will know why the greatest man above put you on this outrageous beautiful place of hate and love you will not be lost for long you will find were you belong never forget, during your journey in this wild mystery, during your hectic quest, never fail to embrace ALL never fail to appreciate every moment you get. My dearest darling forgive yourself, let go, accept. we have all felt shame, it is time to forgive and carry on in order to win this game just pray, for one day i promise you, you will be okay.
