I walk the lonely desert of hope On the horizon I see despair In my mind I acknowledge fear Yet, my heart knows the fearless One Whom I turn to for understanding The only one in whom peace resides
I'm shown the mountains of faith Crumbling into the oceans of doubt Truth and trust are a mired battle field I am asked the question."Where are Steadfast and Loyal streets, are they so quickly abandoned when put to the test ?"
I have no answer,because of my guilt For I too travel on highways of confusion Knowing my true path is resurrection avenue I need to compose myself, restore my balance I will travel only on a freeway of harmony Planet Earth is not my permanent residence

This doesn't mean we should live our lives entirely for the sake of others. No, because part of what makes us human, is in knowing we don't know everything. So all we can do, is do our best and hope for the best.
Peace,

Deep and exhaustive with feelings of major angst. The poet expresses thought which has plagued man throughout history. You gave it to a personal touch. Well done.
Potential meets purpose for great accomplishments in the life of a young student.
A young student is interested in learning coding programs. He applies and is rejected because of his age. He does not give up and tries again and is accepted. Eventu
