Even If It's a Lie

Even if

It's all a lie

It doesn't matter

At least not now

Not to me

 

It gets me through

The hard days

When hope

Seems nowhere to be found

When life

Seems to have

Too many mistakes

 

So even if

It's not true

It's ok

It's not hurting anyone

It only helps

 

And the best part

I won't know

Till it doesn't matter

 

This is one thing

True or not

I'll keep

Believing in

Cause it gives me

so much

Been browsing through some of your work and this piece really stood out to me. Doubt is something beautiful and terrifying at the same time. Found that you encapsulated it very well! Great job.

Thank you for reading and posting.
This was written when people were questioning my beliefs and finding the right words were hard.

As the great band Journey said" don't stop believing"
You are absolutely right, it hurts nothing! Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[Sunset Girl]

Thank you and you're right, we can never stop believing!!

I liked the poem.
"This is one thing
True or not
I'll keep
Believing in
Cause it gives me
so much"
Sometime accepting little is better than accepting none. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Hope is the fountain of life for many. It's the one thing that is tangible in a world that has become very opaque and transparent. If it weren't for hope, I don't know where I would be.
I felt that your ink really took us on the roller coaster that is life and ended with a comfort of strength, knowing that we always have at least that small candle flame to focus on in the dark times.

Great Ink!

Thank you. We most remember that there are lies out there, but there are some, I believe, it's always ok to believe because they don't make a negative impact on your life. If anything, they might help you be a better person.

:: stunning work... you said it and you said it brilliantly... :: my two cents... i've had many an argument with those who feel that hope is an irrational emotion... it's not... :: not one person in the world... in the history of the world thus far... has been able to predict the future accurately... :: so, anything can happen... :: and life does have a way of surprising us... so... there's always a 50% per cent chance of something amazing happening... :: i've also noticed that human beings and society definitely evolve... despite some moments of immense universal pain... despite the collateral damage which sometimes includes personal pain... :: what i'm saying is that overall things do get better... so whatever the lie you refer to in this poem... you really don't know if it's ultimately a lie or not... it could well be the truth... or so i think... :)

Thank you sweet Serah. I had a hard time writing this, as I've wanted I wanted to say for a few weeks, but could never find the right way. Throughout my life, people have questioned how or why I believe in my religion and so strongly. One question I've heard a times is, "how do you know it's real?" this is my best answer to that question. Thank you again for your kind words.

:: you're very welcome, sweetheart... :: i have figured an answer to this one... when someone asks me... i say religion is codified ethics... and spiritualism is the pursuit of excellence in becoming more and more ethical... some people need to refer to codified ethics... i'm one of them... maybe you don't need to refer to codified ethics... it's a preference issue... :: ultimately, we're all trying to be better human beings... religion helps me... maybe it doesn't help someone else... some people like the colour blue, some don't... no big deal... :)

* figured out an answer

[Sunset Girl]

Religion does give me a higher code that I try to live by, but when I don't I'm not ashmand to say that I messed up. I do see the difference in my way(s) of living and others. I try for the good; it's all we can really do,

:: true, true... trying for the good is everything...
