Never Spoken

Some of the strongest words are never spoken. Yet we look for another to teach them. While hope remains within, many fail to allow chance an opportunity. People profess to have faith, but their faith turns to drugs and dispair during trials. We hope to excel but are afraid to try. Success only comes after failure. Lies are only known to lies when the truth comes to light.

i so believe an opposition in all things is ever present always...faith against doubt...success against failure...lies against truth...despair against hope...light against darkness...this piece can remind us of the importance of right choices as we sail against the difficult tides of times...

to add, your fourth line says about stifled hope...it's true that sometimes hope is the only thing one has to be able to soar to heights and realize potential..so, let's plant seed of hope and let it grow, instead of extinguishing it to death...
