When my' life educates it uses my mistakes.
So should I really call them mistakes?
Or are they rehearsals sent to make me stronger for the journey.

When my life teaches it uses my stitches.
So should I really call them stitches?
Or are they  relics, artistic memorials for lessons learned !

They say when it rains it pours
So Rain keep me drenched ;not just on me, but in me, in the depths of my soul. Let the flood compromise my  'trusted foundations' and my 'solid rocks'  so that it washes away the old and the weak in me, that I may be a new man that I may be defeated no more!

Riddle me again,

if strength is defined as ‘having no fear’ and weakness is defined as ‘falling to fear’; why are the fighters against fear labeled strong? and the calm ones within fear labeled weak?

for if  the calm ones have overcome the fear mentally so that’ they see no  need to  fight the fear visibly; are they weak?

and If the weak are raged with fear that they  see the need to battle are they strong?

And if a warrior is borne in battle is he really 'strength' given that he came from 'weakness'? ,a descendant of the inability to conquer within and a  product of the visible battle.

and if the weak one is forgotten in peace because he was absent in visible battle having  conquered the fear within is he weak?

My president  said war would secure freedom
And my pastor said prayer was the key
My doctor told me the meds will help
And the courts said their laws will help
So why are we still empty and searching..

My Lover said falling in love would ease
And my teacher told me knowledge will be power
My banker said these profits would change my life
And the cook said his chicken would change my life
So explain why I'm still empty and searching

Google said they had all the answers
My boss said  the job would be fulfilling
And The cops promised their presence will make us feel safe

If you don't have the answers please don't tell me you do

I'm old enough I can handle the truth.
