Restless for no reason.
Desperate for peace.
Resistance to look inside.
Desire to become free.
Nothing comes easy.
Discomfort is necessary.
Comfortable in stress.
Stressed about being comfortable.
Stressed about being stressed.
Break the vicious cycle.
Embrace the unknown.
Dive into darkness.
I die if I stay safe.
I might as well die trying.
Hold on to something in the darkness.
Only thing available is faith.
Desperately holding on to faith.
Diving into the darkness.
Wind tearing through my skin.
The cold piercing through my ears.
Body boiling from the inside.
There cannot be anything worse.
Finally I see light at the end of the tunnel.
Fresh air fills the lungs.
Cool breeze comforts me.
Filled with peace and calm.
I pat myself on the back for diving.
Forgetting what got me through.
I again reach darkness for my next test.
Recollecting faith again.
I jump in to the darkness again.
Expecting the familiar discomfort.
This time it is a million times worse.
Doubting if faith is indeed the friend.
Until I see light at the end of the tunnel.
Crossing ten lifetimes.
This time, I remember faith when I see the light.
I don’t pat myself on the back.
I’m filled with gratitude.
I thank my lifeline.
For giving me the courage to have faith.
I walk forward, ready for my next test.
Faith by my side, I see nothing but light everywhere.
