down in the dumps

so what about those times we are down? 

the times we are hopeless 

when we can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

im trying to have faith. 

but faith hasn't made my stomach stop aching.

hasn't stopped my tears from flowing.

hasn't lightened the darkest nights.

but im holding on.

so in the midst of sadness, choose happiness. 

tell your aching its not welcome anymore. 

tell your tears that you need to save them for another time.

and chase those dark nights out with the light of hope.

most importantly hold on.

because one day, faith will ease your fight.

Sometimes people let you down, or you have an unfortunate circumstance come along that wasn't in your plan.  Sometimes you feel completely lost, like you'll never find your way back.  And maybe you don't even want to at that moment.   Time heals a lot. I used to hate hearing that when I was upset. Still do. But it doesn't change that it is true.   That leaves a gap between your circumstance and being all better.  Well the gap is there but what you do with it is entirely up to you.   You can choose. You're in charge.  Don't be held captive from your emotions.  Exercise your freedom, and CHOOSE.
