When life catches you
Old one day
A flicker of light
Burns deep inside
Red hot coals
Without smoke
Asking,
Why me?
Sleep comes uneasy
The mind ablaze
Change is coming
Hope!
When life catches you
Old one day
A flicker of light
Burns deep inside
Red hot coals
Without smoke
Asking,
Why me?
Sleep comes uneasy
The mind ablaze
Change is coming
Hope!
Step right up
Outside of yourself
To where you’ve never been
The first step is the hardest
With or without a friend
A leap of faith is hardest
And scariest of all
You never know if
You’ll land or take a sudden fall
One thing for sure
If you freeze in place
You’ll go nowhere at all.
Surrounded by unknowns
They can not see my face
Beneath my covers
I hide my inner secrets
No one knows who I am
I do not wish to reveal it
The true self which lies with in
Cannot ever face the world
For I have so much to hide
And so little trust in you
SECOND CHOICE
Might as well be called last,
The one you don’t want but you settle for anyway,
The one you would throw away,
To pick up something better,
almost as good.
It hurts not being first.
I am second choice….
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, Love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of our soul. Without these small test, if they be events, illnesses, or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to no where. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only cause they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself your a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.
You can make of your life anything you wish.
Create your own life and then go out and live it.
Lessons:
You won’t find happiness where your going unless you first cultivate it where you are.
I believe that all we do, and all whom we meet on our journey is placed on our road of life for a purpose.
There are no accidents, we are all teachers, if we’re willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn.
Trust our positive instincts, and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.
