Resolved

Resolved Life is a never ending sea of uncompromising ambiguity Around every corner lies doubt and uncertainty Therefore, the quest is not to find the safest path But to find that worth pursuing Doing so requires a certain degree of introspection To truly know oneself takes the ability To look through the lense of objectivity And above all, strive for equanimity The perils of life are real Hurt, change, and fear are routine occurrences Encountered on a daily basis Despite this familiarity The struggle to embrace these truths never becomes easier Convenient refuge is sought in hiding from plain sight That which we feel is insuperable No matter how deeply buried These problems still exist and must be dealt with Refusing to do so only obscures the truth Never truly allowing us to live life to the fullest Resolved Life is a never ending sea of uncompromising ambiguity Around every corner lies doubt and uncertainty Therefore, the quest is not to find the safest path But to find that worth pursuing Doing so requires a certain degree of introspection Often times The reluctance to approach these problems Is a direct result of the fear of appearing weak Even to oneself The key lies in recognizing the strength That comes from conquering the problems we face Life's presents often seem incomprehensible But while it may seem easier to run from That which is not understood The quest for truth suggests otherwise Confront life's mysteries Take them at face value and analyze them for what they are The journey of life is not an easy one The paths to unmentionable heights are treacherous But offer the greatest rewards for those willing to endure Life is wrought with pain But to experience it demands sensitivity Resolved Life is a never ending sea of uncompromising ambiguity Around every corner lies doubt and uncertainty Therefore, the quest is not to find the safest path But to find that worth pursuing Doing so requires a certain degree of introspection Resolved Dealing with grief is a process in which Each stage serves its own purpose Even still, while each must be respectfully observed None can be indulged Denial, if left unchecked Progresses to delusion and a warped perspective of life Uncontrolled anger cauterizes into hatred Bargaining turns to self loathing And depression is its own demise Thus, the ability to cope is determined By the steadfastness one possesses in the pursuit of acceptance Do not dismiss pain Because in doing so, we succumb to numbness And are doomed to live a life devoid of feeling The earth knows no greater satisfaction Than to emerge from the darkest night Into the most glorious sunrise Embrace hurt for the lessons it brings Sheltering oneself only stunts growth Never allowing for the recognition of true potential Everyday is a blessing So take all that you can from that which you are afforded Experience life and all that it has to offer Take the good with the bad But let nothing break your spirit Live, love, laugh And above all else Enjoy life
