When the whole world turns against you,
do you rise or simply fall?
Recently, a few of my friends have experienced life changing events.
About love. About life. About loss of love and lack of life.
Yet, there is nothing to say, except to perhaps offer silence.
Not silence of misunderstanding or inattentiveness.
But silence of helplessness.
Can I say that life will get better, or to hold true to the heart?
Yet, I cannot know that for certain.
Indeed, love is a many splendoured thing.
A bittersweet poison antidote.
What if following your heart means
to go against the world?
Is there any comfort in the knowledge
that a step up leads to two steps down?
Life must go on.
Whether it be a foot forward of tears
or a leap of faith,
you have to move on.
It doesn't mean forgetting
it doesn't mean forgiving
It means being true to yourself
being honest with your feelings
and to accept truths which are not
those told to you.
Life is never about
what others want you to do
or want you to think
or tell you what to think.
It is about your ideas, your thoughts,
your aspirations, your dreams.
You.
