For CitiZen-One....Hope will turn into faith, just keep holding on.

Your world is dark and lonely
You cannot seem to find a light
You, who seems so strong
Has given up the fight

You battle with your demons
And struggle with self- hate
You feel you’ve lost your mind
But that I strongly debate

You say that your mistake
Has made you who you are
I beg to differ with you, My friend
It’s simply a healing scar.

Humbled by my own mistakes
I know what it takes to forgive
Forgiving yourself, a much harder task
But if you don’t, you will not live

The world is lucky to have you
And all the talents you possess
This struggle is simply a roadblock
…momentary distress…

You say that you hate the man
Who has died for all of our sins
But if you were simply perfect
You would bear the same name as him.

If only you could see yourself
The way that I see you
A loving and a giving man
Whose heart is pure and true.

Do not wallow in your guilt
You will learn to love again
I believe in you…with all my heart
And I will forever be your friend.

How wonderful to reach out a hand to one in need.
This is very wisely written, heart-felt gesture.

I'd applaud if there was clapping hands in here, I'd post them for this.   Very very wise words.

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.
