The pain will go away and we will rejoice again
The dark cloud will fade and we will have a brighter day
With this hope in our hearts
With the believe intact
With the faith in God
We will overcome
Surely
We will overcome
To anyone in any kind of pain or problem
To my younger self,
You’re probably skating through the streets,
Wheels humming like a heartbeat,
Lost in the rush of wind and freedom.
Keep that feeling close—it doesn’t fade.
Not everything needs to.
I’m doing okay, believe it or not.
No, I’m not the artist or the adventurer you dreamed of,
But I’ve found a place,
A job that isn’t perfect but offers a path,
Even if it’s not the one we mapped out.
And guess what?
The games still bring joy,
The same crew still laughing, still losing hours
To worlds that feel bigger than this one.
It’s okay to stay young,
To carry the fire of your wild ideas.
There’s no clock chasing you,
No race to be someone else’s version of grown.
Breathe.
Things move forward, even when they hurt.


But now to you, my future self—
I have to confess something.
That comfort I just offered? It’s a half-truth.
Right now, it’s hard.
Harder than I let the past know.
The days blur,
And the nights are loud with questions
I can’t seem to answer.
I want to ask you what to do—
What path to take, what risk to make—
But I already know your answer:
Keep going.
It’s the only advice we’ve ever trusted, isn’t it?
I don’t know what you will look like,
If the years have been kind to your reflection Or just heavier in their weight.
I don’t know where you stand,
What city, what job, what life you’ll claim as your own.
But I do know this:
No matter how lost I feel,
No matter how hard it gets,
I’ll keep trying, keep pushing.
Not for the world,
Not even for the past me
But for you.
So that one day,
You’ll look back and know
I did my best to get us here.
Yours,
The in-between,
The uncertain,
The still-trying.

A world in which we swung among the clouds
Now has been overridden by the image of you in shrouds
We'd sing songs of warmth and hope
Now I pier over your body, dressed in a despairing cope
We'd skip along the flowery hill
Now I'm paying your casket bill

I don't understand what the point was
To make your own life come to a pause
But I will respect your wishes
As I burry my beautiful missus
Touch my feelings
Lie to me
Take my heart
You pried from me
Judge me from, your point of view
Take my soul I gave to you
Can I live
After lie and lie
**** me quickly before I die
Raise my spirit before I go
Undo this love
I have let go
I BELIEVE IN YOU
IF NO ONE ELSE DOES!!!
You're an OVERCOMER,
Sending you ENCOURAGEMENT
WITH LOVE ❤️
You are an ACHIEVER,
So, be a BELIEVER,
DO YOU DOUBT YOURSELF??
WELL, NO ME EITHER!!!
You are SUCCESSFUL!!
Yeah it was STRESSFUL!!
You felt UNSUCCESSFUL!!, but
YOU PERSISTED, BE THANKFUL!!!
It was TOUGH!!
it was ROUGH!!
You Got tired of FAILING, and
you had ENOUGH!!
You finally SUCCEEDED!!
YOU MADE IT THROUGH!!
You BELIEVED IN YOURSELF!!!, and
I BELIEVE IN YOU TOO!!!

Unsure of higher power
So I search for different meaning
Only finding myself in cycles
Introduced to present demons
Had to learn to look calmly
While the head is always screaming
The cycles are almost over now
Remember life's worth living

Old man, you left me there
Floating, drowning in the sea
So now that I've finally made it back to land
Don't pretend you still know me

In this world, you will have troubles
painful troubles leaving you empty
they tempt me to indulge in temporary pain relief
You know it in the form of liquid, pills, or razor blades
Soon the luster fades and I’m left with the same pain that brought me here and then some
New scars don’t fade
New addictions I can’t break
Am I here by mistake?
What I used to numb my pain turned into just another source of it
In this world, you will have troubles
It’s ok
"I have overcome this world of pain"
"In this world you will have troubles, but take heart for I have overcome the world." JOHN 16:33
