Faith in LIfe

You see there once was a wise man 

who replied something to me in an open discussion of life, 

he stated son " you got to live your life, cant let distractions get in the way." You see for far too long i was scraping the bottom of the barrel, 

for too long i was struggling just to get by. 

NO MORE!!

 i stand above the lies, and lie in bed with truth. 

No longer am i flirting with lies, but in love with truth.

I've fought for far too long my knuckles are filled with blood 

and are now black and blue. 

What can you reply to me, what can you say to me besides the truth. 

Oh a lie

 a lie that i will no longer adhere to?

 A lie that i will no longer accept. 

You see like you i've tasted the sour misery and pain of the world.

 But i've also found the orchid of beauty and love 

and tasted and swallowed the sweet nectar of this flower. 

Oh how i let the juices flow down my throat. 

A feeling of relief a sense of refreshment came over me.

 I lay back as the world rotates on its axis and brings about 

the coming changes of the seasons. 

But i remain still. 

I remain still as the world changes all around me. 

Is this the way i want to remain a voice questioned?

 is this the way i want to continue? 

i answered no, but is this the path you lay out for me? 

for only you know whats in my heart,

 for only you know which path i should be on.

 So chose wisely my son the voice replied 

and so i rise up 

no longer staying still. 

NO i rise. 

You see i rise not just for the voice, but for me.

 You see i Rise. 

I rise not just for me, but for you.

 I rise, i rise above the lies. 

Im calm now, changing, growing, adapting,

 with the world around me. 

How have you chosen to live?

Are you on the right path?

You see for too long i say i've stayed at that crossroad

And watched as everything i known passed me by.

SO what gave me the strength you ask?

My faith in the most high, and my faith in LIfe.
