About overcoming trials and helping others

my thoughts wave and stain
as i obtain positive lanes playing
in range of souls caught deep in despair.

i'm aware of the negative trends
as it blends into my conscious thoughts.
but i settle not so scared submerging into my reliefs,
calming the doubts holding to my beliefs.


relaxed and happy succumbing to my Beloved
and caressing my world as it brings me challenges to overcome.
i feel one
with the cause, as i pause
to think “ this is life”

life as it offers one after another
calling my sister, and my brother,
as they're holding to anger and fear.
yearning to stay clear of heart break.
but make no mistake
this life brings trials

no since of denials
but overcoming is the path to be tread
living is a challenge drawn stale into dread
tears plead, “ rather be dead”
but what of that?

caring is loving and loving is living,
bring lessons learned you earned surviving
such pain overcame urging to teach.

those drifting between hurt and certain defeat  
as you grow you find small souls that still weep
and are searching.

for guidance and the hurt you hold
turns to sympathy for those wishing for feelings,
and comforts.
your stained tears lightens their fears

brings creases swaying from ear to ear
there's no fear in loving what was brought to you.

so choose in what way to embrace the rain
restrain the drain,
as it pours down on your pain.

turn your face to the sky
hold to your soul for the end will arrive
and smile with hope deep in your eyes
for the sun will rise.

and as you believe.
So too will the world.
So too will the world.
