How long is long enough to wait for something good?
How good is good enough to do justice to the wait?
How back do you need to go in time to actually progress forward?
Where do you go searching for a flicker or inspiration when youre running out of hope?
How often do you lie saying you have no hope left when deep down inside u hope that it isn’t true?
Is believing that you can do something enough to actually do it?
And if it so why is it that the so-called believers fall the hardest?
And if a believers the one that doesn’t stop believing then what are the rest?
Healing a believer is a transition, a wait, a period of change that changes times.
If life is too short to live life waiting,
How long is long enough to wait?
If every speckle of your being is numb to every sensation
How do you still protect your soul?
When the cold winds of envy, anger and lust engulf your thoughts
How do you stop turning love into obsession?
How do you ever let go of the hope that you were destined for greatness?
With hope that it will come to you in some form some day.
Will you still keep waiting as life passes by for the destined change?
How long is long enough to keep waiting?
