Why Not?

life

Often times I've asked for relief,

from struggles I thought that weren't for me. 

I've fallen and struggled to my feet,

just to fall again then ask why me.

Why must I suffer with so much difficulty and pain. 

Why must I walk with no coverage,

through the acid filled rain.

Why must I always hurt, 

why must my tears always spill.

Burning my eyes like cuts that's alcohol filled.

But still,

I must walk as if everything is fine,

struggling to walk this straight and narrow line.

So I dropped to my knees to ask the good lord above, 

what did I do to be so unworthy of your love.

For the first time in my life I heard his words as clear as day,

and listened very closely to every word he had to say.

He said,

It is because I love you I allow the wounds you've earned.

You may have struggled to get up, 

but it was because of the fall you aquired the lessons you have learned.

I have always allowed these things to test your strength.

Just to be sure you won't be overwhelmed by what is ultimately meant.

You have always been able to handle life's obstacles,

which I knew all along you would be able to do.

I needed you to know that you were able to.

I needed you get in tune with yourself.

I need you to claim who are. 

I need you to submit to my will

It is then you'll understand what all you've gained from those spills.

Yes, you have fallen,

but I've always helped you up.

And yes, getting up may have been a struggle, 

but that's because you were carrying extra blessings in which you had to juggle.

I have heard all your cries. 

I have felt all your pain. 

I've walked along side you as you tackled, 

what seemed to be constant rain.

I know you've cried many of nights, 

but I've cried those tears first until blood took over my sight.

You have asked for relief, 

and I've asked for your belief. 

Belief that I will take care of your every need.

So have no worries for I shall provide,

just as long as you don't allow your loyalty to divide.

Every obstacle you've faced was designed just for you.

I know some has been difficult, that's true 

but before you go to asking why you,

ask yourself why not?
