HANG IN THERE

I Put Up Walls Not To Suffocate Me but Rather To Shield Me,

From The Prying Eyes of Cynics…

Because My Life Felt Like a Barren Field Frozen With Snow,

And Time Had Taught Me…

Waiting Can Hurt Like a Knife.

You May Devour Me with Your Words,

You May Make Me Bleed with Your Eyes,

You May Send Me to Shuffle off The Mortal Coil,

But Still, Like the Sun, I’ll Rise.

You Know…

We Live In A World Full Of Jealous People with Friendly Faces,

Because They Don’t Like It When Your Authenticity Is Louder Than Their Façade,

And By That…

I Learned To Keep My Head Up For a Little Drop of Life.

Before I Pass the Point Of No Return,

I Will Sing the Only Song I Was Truly Meant To Sing,

The Song of Tenacity…

Because My Faith Is A Great Weight Hung On A Small Wire.

So I’ll Only Give Up When…

The Sun Stops To Shine and the Moon No Longer Glimmers,

Crystals No Longer Sparkle and Grass No Longer Grows,

The Wind Never Blows and the Oceans No Longer Have Waves,

Glass Stops To Be Brittle and Eggs Cease to Be Fragile,

The Rain Stops Falling and Sound Is No Longer Heard,

Love Ceases to Exist and Music Is Never Played,

The Earth Stops Being Round and Faith Is No Longer Meaningful,

Water Becomes a Distant Past and Children Are No Longer Born,

Clouds Become Extinct and Snow Ceases To Be White,

Ice Refuses To Be Cold and Fire Never Burns,

Mountains Disappear and Seas Stop To Flow,

Birds Cease to Fly and Fish Never Swim,

When Hearts Stop To BEAT And Life Fades Away Then I’ll GIVE UP.

Remember;

It’s Impossible to Start the Next Chapter of Your Life If You Keep Re-Reading the Last One.
