Belief

Sometimes you’re there bold and beautiful. Sometimes I have to search for you. I feel you in me through hard decisions, you help me navigate my way through life and I am forever grateful I have you and that you are there. I’ve never really lost you and because I allowed you in I’ve felt myself grow and gained strength from you. I’d be lost without you, I feel you by my side and when I need you I hear you whisper to me. I hear you there by my side. I am forever thankful.

Sadness

Each time you come to me I build my wall higher. I strengthen and I am thankful that you visit me, I grow from you. You’ve taken so much away but my resilience is strong. My tears are replaced with blankness as I learn to control my emotions. 

You creep into my space before I’ve had time to bat you away, sometimes I’m prepared and sometimes I’m not. Sometimes you are there and I’m ok and sometimes you catch me and I am unaware and I’m not ready for you but you don’t care. Each time you leave me I feel stronger than when you came to me. Each time you visit me I learn something new. I feel like you are steering me but I’m not sure where I’m heading. You work together with happiness and all the other emotions but I wish I knew where I was going.
