Karma

I watch the tears fall from your eyes, but then why am I mad? …This is the day I was told about, they said I’d be happy, blissful, content, and victorious, so then why am I sad… Man, today I met a new side of me, I learned you could confide in me, and know that your secrets are safe with inside of me, trying to weaken the soul that lies in thee, but my heart is as wide as the sea. And I’m stronger than I ever thought I could be, because I learned to forgive YOU, and to love ME! So I wipe your tears and ask myself where is your strength… the strength that kept me in complete darkness, provoked words of cold harshness, the times I CRIED and YOU acted heartless, I let you guide me as though you were my compass, but you chose to destroy me and feed off my weakness, leaving me to pick up the pieces and tidy your mess. So if you’re wondering if I feel your pain, my answer is yes! The pain you feel was a place I once resided in, so my only words of wisdom is take this as life’s lesson, learn that things happen for a reason, ppl we think we know change like the season, learn to fight your daemon. Don’t let this be a rerun, don’t let your soul get beaten, train your mind not to weaken, don’t wallow in your sorrows, forgive and forget and your life will sweeten……mines did! I did, I moved on, forgave and forgot, and in turn I am grateful for all that I got. Road out the waves, rolled with the punches, built back my strength, my emotions and senses, brushed myself off when you threw me in the trenches. Drowned my sorrows, faced all my stresses. And at the end of it all I made a few pledges. I pledge to love me and put myself first, love me through hard times, down to my worst. I pledge to forgive, we all make mistakes, I pledge to succeed and do whatever it takes. Avoid all the foes, follies and fakes. Avoid stepping on skins of all cobras and snakes. I shall not conform to gossiping and sin, because despite what I’ve been through I choose to win. Do good on to others, be kind, be true, and your hardship will cease, your sorrows will be few. Now wipe the tears from your eyes, cuz you finally paid your due. You can run and you can hide but karma will always find you!
