Wednesday Words [4] - Somewhere, Someday

Baby, you’re surely going to get your heart broke again

By the tides of pain that recede and then come again

Who’s to say why we put ourselves in these situations?

This world is filled with unnecessary complications

Darling, you’re going to cry again

People use people for their own gain

I promise it’s just something that happens

And the road is bumpy even when you strap in

Honey, you’re going to have to learn again

You will see sun shining through the rain

Sometimes the hurt is a disguised blessing

Through the doubts and through the guessing

Go, go find yourself somewhere you don’t want to leave

Move, move on from here to find another story to weave

Bitterness, it only leaves your heart in a state to grieve

Forgive, even when forgiveness isn’t what you receive

Find yourself somewhere you want to stay

Make good memories to one day replay

Don’t stress it if there’s any kind of delay

You’re going to find that somewhere someday

A/N: I feel as if I'm at a bit of a conflict with this poem. Your thoughts on it are appreciated, as always. Do you agree with what I've written? Feel absolutely free to disagree. I'm not even sure if I concede with myself yet, if that makes any sense. Do you ever feel this way? Like you're waiting on that place, that somewhere?

The thing is, I am a strong believer in living in the current moment, and being happy and grateful where you are in life. But to contrast that, I also think that one should not give up praying, hoping and healing, or waiting for dreams to become reality in the future. They won't always become real, of course, and it definitely matters what kind of reality you're truly desiring- whether it is pleasing to God or not. But I anticipate that hope, lessons learned and perseverance will become strength when built upon day after day.
