Holding faith to my heart (poem)
-
NB: I won’t lie, what happened to me those weeks ago still hurts and has left me feeling empty and hurt… it has left me with so many questions… and although I no longer feel bad for what happened. I guess pain takes a while to heal. I wrote this poem as my journey feels very bumpy right now.
Holding faith to my heart (poem)
I cling to light
As I step into darkness
Holding my faith to my heart.Hope and courage
Wisdom and Strength
With these I try to endureNot knowing my path
The when or the why
The how the what or the whereJust taking my steps
One by one
Doing my best to survive…Will this end?
I don’t know…
But I guess we will find out in time.

Hello Sweetie,
Such a lovely poem, from a lovely girl..Take baby steps. Friends are always there for you, only if you let them know what is going on. Remember, we can’t read minds. I’m always there for you, a phone call away or an IM away or a Skype away..I’m always just a Thought away, never further….
Loves You Dearly Baby Girl

beautiful poem as usual, Matty. proud of you for sticking by your beliefs even though it resulted in you losing a friend. you’re a very special girl and there will definitely be more friends you will make who will realize that.
