And watch it erupt in someone’s night;
Fiercely pursue in love,
Someone who’s afraid of it,
Who needs it the most;
Scars are a medal
To those who’ve endured hell
On earth and survived it
Because they were strong enough,
So why not believe that;
Embrace your pain
So your audience can see strength
In the midst of struggle;
Don’t pretend to have it all together
Let yourself fall and accept it,
Don’t put a mask of perfection on
Because we all know the struggle;
Live your life without regrets
Live in the light,
Not the shadows
Where you continue to wait;
Disturb the darkness
With your inner light,
Distract it with your fearlessness
Because we can;
We all have the choice to live,
To be more than our past
Defines us as;
We are not a label,
Unless the label defines
Who we are in Christ;
We can all bleed life in some form
We can be unstoppable,
A fearless child of God
Capable of the unthinkable;
We must choose to live,
To be strong for those
Who want to stop their timeline;
Because they don’t want to die
They just want the pain to stop;
With God all things are possible,
But one must believe that;
To know God means to know peace,
To feel His presence breathing
Life within you, inside and out;
His love bleeds an ocean
I baptize myself in,
So that I may know Him;
May I never grow faint,
But always be undaunted
