Yes....

Yes
The world is a dark place
Surrounding us with obstacles, despair
Removing from us all our strength
Creating the illusion that sometimes
It would be better just to surrender
To accept defeat
And putting an end to all this pain
Stopping once and for all this suffering

In those occasions when everything seems
Without solution, when you feel cornered
Without an apparent way out
Don’t fight the darkness
Because you would probably lose yourself in it
Embrace it
Became the darkness

And think not of yourself, of your problems
Think of everyone else in the world
Who on a daily basis face problems some worse
Than yours, more life threatening, more devastating
And see that despite all the factors against them
They find the last strength within to stand up
To wipe the tears from their eyes and the ability
Against all odds to keep resisting and denying to quit

When in your mind
In your soul
You will be able to realize that
Darkness has already lost
Its grip on you already losing strength
A little spark of light starting to come to focus

Hold on to that light
With all your remaining strength
Multiply it
Create In yourself a place to hold it
Protect it
Nourish it
With laughter
With all the beauty around you
With a kind gesture of a friend
With the soft word from a stranger
And thank them for their actions
Because they are not without a
Meaning, they have a reason
It’s just that we are not allowed
To see it to understand it,
We just have to accept and for them
Find the strength to hold on

Making ourselves an example to others
And when you find someone in a similar
Situation, don’t be afraid to separate
Yourself of some of that inner light of yours
To help them, don’t be afraid because that is
Just another way for your inner light to shine brighter
And to continue to keep the darkness at bay

Believe it….
