Faith
Darkness is overshadowed by light
Removing all doubt from its sight
I ask the same question again and again
Why am I here my stellar friend?
Once at night and again in the day
I rely too much on what they convey
When they are gone I feel sad and blue
The feelings I am overwhelmed with are true
Conveyed by the world that has shaped me
Forgotten and lonely for too long you see
My faith is in what I do with myself
No religion or faceless god to put on a shelf
I hang in the balance of the tumultuous seasons
Telling those who ask I have no reason
It is not their business to know why I am
To those I trust and tell understand
Friends are few and far between
My faith falters on what is unseen
I know what I lack is a sense of purpose
Deep in my mind I know it will surface
So, until then, my long-distance friend
I will rely on you to help mend
All of my woes and tribulations
Forever to be all of my elation
