Inaction Breeds Despair, but so does Expectation.


Sitting here with a glass of Wine Wondering when your life will change Waiting for a better day, But will that ever come? Stop. Breathe. Rewind. What are you doing to yourself? Life doesn't lie still Life doesn't just happen or create miracles You have to make a Stand A step forward The future is made of actions Not inactions, prayers, and hopes If the World was coming to an end Could you honestly say You lived life to the fullest? You took every opportunity presented? Stop. Breathe. Forward. I'm running as fast as I can To Happiness Of my own making To Serenity Breaking away from Hopelessness To Beauty By finding stillness in my own Truth. Taking a Step forward, Is the hardest while dreaming, But if you let go of fear and hope Life blossoms right in front of you. So Let Go of What you Believe.
