The sadness in your angelic eyes.

Throws an arrow through my heart.

I can see it behind those lies.

The pain starts playing the part.

There are some things you can't disguise.

This is the deal made with life and its art.

 

Pain demands to be felt.

There is no way to skip it.

With time, away it will melt.

Just hold on tighter for a little bit.

 

God is watching from up above.

No effort goes in vain.

The pureness of his deep love.

Washes away every pain.

 

This is only a reminder.

For life carries some ups and downs.

A test to make you even stronger.

When you fall suddenly to the grounds.

 

What appeared to be so hard.

Causing many silent cries.

Feeling like you need a bodyguard.

Was in fact only a Blessing in Disguise.

The author's comments:

"Courage, Will and Patience...All you need for a better existence."

This is a poem about someone really dear to me that was feeling sad and unconfident. I just wanted this person and anyone who feels this way to know that sometimes, things happen and it seems everything is going wrong while you were doing your best which is not fair. However, as long as your faith is strong, keep in mind that if what you wanted so badly didn't arrive well that only means that there's something even better waiting for you down the road, just hold on...God never gives us more than we can take and never lets any effort go in vain. So be confident, go for it and believe in yourself and most of all Be Patient...Who knows what will happen at the end?! ;) You might be surprised ^_^

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

Well that depends on everyone's own and everyone's own pain. But what I can assure you is that as long as you do what you have to and live it from the depth of your heart, as long as you keep your faith strong and believe in yourself no matter what the circumstance. You'll realize that life isn't that unfair. You may have been through a lot of struggle, that no one can get you unless this person went through the same things, but if you're a believer you should know that the good lord never gives us more than we can take. Remember that after the rain comes the sunshine, which means that after all what you're going through, there's is something so special and woth it all waiting for you down the road. You just gotta keep holding tight, keep your faith strong and never give up. i hope this answers your question quiet well ^_^ Thanks anyways for the feedback, I really appreciate it :)
