Remembrance

Remembrance
By: Faseeh Biabani

I'm losing it. Losing hope, losing faith, losing sight
We quietly conclude in the middle of the night
Broken inside. Broken heart, broken thoughts, broken mind
Insomnia. Can't deal with the stresses of every kind.
Wounded deep. Soul affected by sudden caprice
Patch me up. I'm damaged. Please.. all I want is peace.
Tag on my neck, No Return, Refund, Exchange,
Tend to forget my destiny's prearranged.

Why me? We say it over and over again
Realizing that what is now versus then
Has us lost and hopeless with no sight of the end
Leaving us feeling lonely, miserable, with pain to tend
And wounds to mend, remembering the visions
Of the faults of our decisions
Prejudging the results to our fate
Faith, hope, and strength, just put to wait.

Why do you hurt yourself this way?
Why do you find yourself crying everyday?
Look where you slipped and not where you fell
I guarantee your heart and mind will begin to feel well
Because there's wisdom in what has been said
There's brilliance in the words that we've been fed
Plenty of ways out of the miseries that have taken control
Of every bit of our feelings and rationale, bodies and soul.

He does not place a burden on a soul which it cannot bear
All that He has asked of you is to lift your hands up in prayer
Now watch as the mystery unfolds right before your eyes
Now watch as the peace fills inside and puts an end to your cries
You'll look back at today and feel the difference of what you've missed
Optimism in every word, oh and sleep at night.. just as you wished
Now you've got it: The cheat sheet to the test, the key to success
Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and just go try your best
You make the effort, and He makes the way
So just smile, tomorrow's another day.
