I See That 'You' You Are
You may not need me,
Now.
Like you will.
Or,
Can say what you feel,
Now.
But somehow...
I know.
And that which I know...
No longer do I question,
Reasons why or how I do!
I know...
Your life lived is not a gift picked,
From a grab bag.
To exchange for something wished,
That is better than what you have.
And comparing your life...
Brings to you an unwanted sadness.
I know this.
I know...
You have been selected for a test.
And to pass it wont be easy.
I know...
Not too many can accept,
This gift that they get.
And they choose to disrespect it.
To leave it neglected.
Desperate is the grieving...
That becomes reflected.
And I know...
Those tempestuous storms,
One expects when clouds appear.
Come along to cleanse you,
From ills and evil.
Dispensed around you to endear!
When they come...
Do not hold them near.
Wish them away to disappear.
But you must cling onto faith without fail.
You can,
You must and will prevail!
To triumph and conquer,
Over your disturbing mental turbulence.
