"Faith" - A Story of Loss

For so long now I have been angry.

Angry at people who disappoint me

and at myself for believing.

I seem to have this ridiculous faith in people.

I see the good and tend not to weigh the bad properly.

But I also see what others can't

or choose not too.

maybe its a gift, maybe its harmful.

These past few months I stopped believing in my gift,

stopped believing in people,

my faith disappeared with my heart.

I began to harden my heart

and see as others do, not seeing much.

I began to think this gift is just a burden,

that people will always leave,

and hurt,

and disapoint.

But I hoped that wasn't the case.

I didn't know for sure, my confidence was robbed.

Before I believed with my whole heart

and that was shredded.

Now, as I always have had, I have hope

and faith again.
