A WORTHWHILE PROMISE
I feel like a little lost puppy dog
Anxious in a world seemingly larger than I
Sometimes I feel so absolutely afraid
That I don't know whether to stand or to run and hide...
And this is only because of deeper emotions
Which I don't fully understand down inside
For my Soul keeps them hidden away temporarily
And then releases them when It feels the time is right...
Such times come unexpectedly
Blindsiding me with every belief I'd later find to be a lie
So when I do not know what to do with these thoughts
I often dismiss any hope of enjoying life...
Yet I guess dreams run a little deeper than that
There has to be something keeping me alive
I hear the Angels encouraging me to stick around
As well do all my Guides...
So as long as I am not alone in this
Even when all that is apparent is trouble and strife
I'll stand inside these emotions
While letting go of my truly foolish pride...
And the Sun; I know that it still shines for me
And that I can recieve energy from Its light
So I surrender my broken heart to the Universe
In sincere hopes of experiencing new life...
The ego can sure be a beast
At least until one has had enough, and decides to draw the line
It is here that I shall make a promise to myself
That I shall never, ever again consider suicide...
