Sometimes,
When I stop and look back,
All the things that happened.

There is a sense of quietness and gratefulness that surrounds me.

Because I know,
That I am indebted to the people,
That God sent into my life.

The places that I've been to,
The painful journey of growing up.
They all gave me something I could have never attained without them.

Strength.

And the knowledge that God is indeed with me.

All the time.

Except that I didn't know it.

I wish for death, sometimes.
Because that's the end of all pain and suffering.
I am not being weak or suicidal.
Just acknowledging that it will come.

 But I also know,
That my life will always be filled with sadness and pain.

It is almost as if, I am created to feel the pain.

There will always be laughter and joy,
Smiles and happiness.
Pleasure, hugs and kisses.

But there'll always be pain.

Burdens

And inexplicable sorrow.

Acknowledging the truth.. will set us free. So that we can transcend over it.
