Sincerely,

by F.S. Yousaf

I am struggling between The thoughts of destiny And what stands before me.

How do you suppose You can capture Your true potential When you speak As if your aspirations Are hopeless?

You could tell By the way Anxiety danced in my eyes.

I ask myself constantly: What if there is no cure for this ache, This pain that resides in me?

For who knows, Success and happiness May be closer than they seem.

Show so much grace in your actions That others cannot tell You harbor any ill feeling within.

But as long as we have resilience And faith, We will never be stopped.

You do not deserve most Of the fires that come your way, Yet you handle them gracefully. As if you have lived with them Lifetimes over.
