I used to hope about things
to come true for me but
I have to hope
No longer
Accepting life and my path for what it is
is not a matter of hope but
a matter of patience and simply continuing the path
to the purpose that is promised
No Longer
do I have to hold back
being who I am and what I am
because
I have to hope
No Longer
Understanding life is not a matter of purpose
but
a matter of fact
Change is not a matter of purpose
but
a matter of fact
The fact that all things have to change
in order to see
ourselves and life for what it is
and it is about evolving
a person is an evolved form of the other
and now
we are evolved from our ancestors
our parents
because we are children of god
and we all walk as his son did
and We All stand in his will
I have to hope
No Longer
because
Life is not a matter of hope
but a matter of purpose
not a matter of life but
a matter of death
so that we all
live
so I have to hope
No Longer
