Never trust a liar. Even though they will always trust themselves.

Dichotomy of Hope

Never fear changing scenery

Some days the sun
Never rises.
Shroud of guilt weighing
Like an elephant

Crushing the
Breath of Hope,
Stifling the blood of
The future.

Another day delivers
Brilliance and warmth
Burns away the clouds of
Hopelessness.

The rays of faith
Slay the great beast
Filling with an undeserved
Strength and desire

Burning now with joy
Melting the heart of ice
As it is held up to the sun
Suddenly shining like a mighty one

And leave the world
A better place
For the price that was paid
