I wrote this my freshman year in college when I was going through a lot of depression and difficult times. I had forgotten about it until earlier when I found a folder with some old poems I had written and it was in there. I just had a sudden urge to share it here... so here it is.
Sometimes
Sometimes we lose focus-
lose our direction-
lose our sense of perception.
Sometimes our world is black-
our sun is eclipsed-
our air hard to breathe.
Sometimes we are afraid-
of the truth-
of lies-
of both.
Sometimes we decide to hide-
from friends-
from strangers-
from ourselves.
Sometimes the hardest thing to do-
is reach for the hand that cares-
to hold it without crushing it-
and to let go when we need to walk on our own.
And sometimes-
we find the strength to go on-
to love and be loved-
and to believe again in ourselves.
----
My hope is for everyone to feel confidence and belief in themselves, especially during these sometimes stressful holiday and winter days, because that is where I think peace lies. Happy Holidays to all, may true joy and inner peace find each and every one of you.
