My views on life I have many.
And many more opinions and views to gain
You never stop learning about who you are.
When you think you know yourself
You surprise yourself and change.
This process won’t stop till we are dead
But then again who knows right?
Everything happens for a reason,
Weather or not if we know the reasons…
Well that’s another question.
We are standing in a world filled
With many roads, lessons, and choices
The biggest question I can see is “why?”
I myself believe in Christianity
A common question asked is “Why is there pain…
If there is such a great GOD as yours?”
What they seem to be looking for is heaven.
The ultimate paradise.  Who wouldn’t want to be there?
I look at it this way,
We need and long for compassion
I think it makes life all that more worth while.
If we were to live in that world with no flaws
There would be no room for improvement.
There would be no over coming weaknesses,
A loss of self worth for having something special,
Something that is you, just you no one else.
Many people expect me to be more bitter than I act.
More What does bitterness bring I ask except,
pain and a shadow over our hearts.
Right now it feels like my soul is bleeding,
With a pain that floods my soul.
Then I think how much joy…  
Will my next moment of happiness bring me?
I stand in the dark holding a single lit candle.
It may not hold much light, but it is still light.
A small gateway of hope.
