WE ARE

we understate our uniqueness

we deny our power to withstand and withold

we are hindered by our fears

Burnt out by our memories

Our experiences forge us

Still we hope for better

we smile, we cry.

We trust, we betray.

we love, we lost.

Still we try…

Grief finds us.

we swim in meaninglesness

we find faith

we doubt

we cross thresholds

We gain new grounds

we visit the past again

echoes of past present in our future

we are still.

Memories burn…

Hope ignites in us

We find purpose

Then we fail.

Success comes but i soon lost in the tide of the pressure to be more

Still, we are.

We laugh

We hurt

We bleed

We heal

We fade

We bloom

Still, we are…

we are brave

we find courage

we faint in battle

we backslide

we aim high again

Still, we are…

We inspire

We disappoint

We loose guard

We are alert

We worry

We drown

We exhale

Still, we are…

Ordinary People.

In a life with no meaning

Struggling to find our place

in a place where we are all sojourners.

Yet, we are defined by love, faith, and hope.

In the end, we are all believers.
