A Smile Beyond the Tears
I began my journey hoping to find myself
Looking upon life lessons to trust in no one else
Being abused emotionally has cause me great pain
Expecting the unexpected can make one emotions hard to maintain
How can one justify the truth to fit the wrong?
Being that lessons are taught to help one to become strong
Where is the truth when lies are lifted to cover the words spoken?
Having to make choices by closing the door that was once open?
I endangered my heart with the emotions that I created
If love was not a requirement of God, then many would be hated
Then maybe I wouldn’t be going through these tears each day
And reaching out for something that wasn’t ever meant to stay
Challenged by my beliefs I had to endure it all
Although the setup was purposed for me to walk until I fall
It was hard to know these words to accept and stand tall
Before you ask, my answer is, “Yes” I can handle it all
What is love without God, without hope, without trust?
I made myself clear when I explained these things were a must
Giving and receiving are things that we are obligated to do from time to time
Listening and learning are thing that will set us ahead or steps behind
Till death does us apart was not just a scripture quoted by me
It has purpose or else God wouldn’t hold it against me
Options are choices give to one to make wise decisions
Any yet we abuse them because freedom has caused us to lose vision
How much can someone take before they decide to put up a stone wall
How much can a person be abused before they do away with it all
I gathered my thoughts and I began to redirect the way I think
And my conclusion was that I must not allow my heart to sink
Problems sometimes happen when we least expect them to
And the hardest task to pass is the task that defines you
We only know our strengths when they are challenged
And we are only as strong as we can manage
