It's something we all have, some without even realizing it.
It's something a person needs in order to survive.
I'm one to preach the words, "Everything happens for a reason" and "You end up where you're supposed to be" and I try my hardest to have faith in those words, but I too often find myself failing at that.
I think it's just something someone says to make themselves feel better. I can't let myself hide behind that, but that doesn't mean I won't try to.
I tell myself those two phrases daily; wishing, praying, for them to actually come into existence. But they never do.
If everything happens for a reason, tell me why my cousin passed away form a drug overdose. Tell me why he had to get addicted in the first place.
If everything happens for a reason, tell me why my grandmother passed away suddenly from a freak accident when her health was fine.
If everything happens for a reason, tell me why father's only two friends died from cancer.
If everything happens for a reason, tell me why people experience heart break, of all kinds.
If everything happens for a reason, tell me why there has been 18 school shootings so far this year.
If everything happens for a reason please just give me those reasons. And don't give me some ******* that people make up to only make themselves feel better. I won't fall for that. I refuse to.
I want so badly for someone to tell me otherwise, so I can make sense of it all.
And then maybe, I'll have a little bit of faith.
