Notes About The Poem

One must not abandon faith.

Faith

As I lay in my bed lit room
I mutter to myself silently
"Powerless I feel"
But, compelled to thrive 
Maddened by intruders 
Yet mastered fitfully my role in life 
Formless doesn't exist in my vocabulary 
I will quench onto faith for evermore

- We have all been there, those days where we wish we had been lying in bed, well buried under the carpet - It's about finding back to your own sense of happiness, my friend ... the joy of life ... never give up faith :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
