it’s hard sometimes
when my mind spirals
out of control
when my thoughts
twist into worry
and fear declares war
on my heart
it’s hard sometimes
when the doubt
comes creeping in
casting shadows
where there was
once light
so i pour it out
in the form of words
letters bleed
onto the paper i hold
and i realize
through everything
that i cannot let
this dark force win
that i am stronger
that love is on my side
and faith is the answer
i must focus
on the positive
over the negative
because the truth is
miracles happen every day
i must hold onto hope
and continue to believe
that everything
happens for a reason
i must stay open
i must stay true
i must have trust
trust in the universe
trust in the life
i have come here
to live
so i live
