The Trial



There are times that we are happy and times that we are upset. Times to cry and times to reflect.

Try to do as I say and say as I do. Looking for answers that lead me back to you.

Thinking of ways to acknowledge you and understand what is ahead may not be worth it to you.

Try to see the truth that is right in front of me but can not let my guard down for the life of me.

Thinking of what could possibly be but at the same time is it worth it to me?

Try to see the light for the sun is definitely bright but my path is not well lit so I am struggling inch by inch through it.

Thinking that I may have found the one that can set me free and show me there is a lot of life left for me.

Try to show that I truly care and will always be there as long as I continue to walk through the fear that I pray will not leave me in tears.

Thinking there is another way that I can find a path that will lead me to what I already have because I am the one that needs to see that this is what is meant to be.

Try to be the best that I was shown to be for my roots do not break they strengthen with every step and every breath I take.

Thinking have I done all I could to make it out the woods and back to the streets because that where I was raised and I will forever be thankful for the ones that showed up and took me from the grave!
