Found an old poem I wrote..

[K9soul]

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.

Jessica: that is sooo beautiful. Would you mind if I printed it off and and put it up on my wall at work??

[K9soul]

Slick, I'd be honored. Thanks for the compliments. I always felt like God was speaking to me through my writing that day because the words just came without even thinking. It makes me feel so good that the words are meaningful to others too
