Just The Ramblings Of A Writer

I know what its like to...hold on...
When all else fails...
To hold to that very thing that...sustains you...
That keeps you grounded and centered...
During those times of heartache...and pain...
I have clung to even the most minute ounce of hope.
I have held out for the impossible...
I have sought after the incredible...
I have trusted in truth...
I know what its like to...let go...
To just let be...what shall be...
To stop struggling within...with insecurities...
With doubt...with indecision...
To just lay down all the hurts...
All the pain...all the dreams...
I know what it's like to question...
My very purpose...my reason for being...
So many..."Why me" moments...
Are now behind me...gone...
From even those...lessons are learned.
I heard someone say once...
That its the creative...artistic folks...in life...
That seem to struggle the most.
I almost laughed...not sure what the actual stats are on that study...
Just know that we all have our fair share.
Life at times...has a way of handing out some crappy cards.
But I also know what it is to be thankful...
For a heritage that is beyond measure...
For a family that loves without question...
For friendships that are beyond words...
For experiences and opportunities that have made me...me.
Some amazing...some not so kind...and some beyond description...
For the simple pleasures in life...
For heart-felt moments...
For words shared...
But most importantly...
For the...unspoken.
