A side reflected
Much not expected
Again and again
Who can guess it?
Everything seen
is everything known
To end a life
of this seen
What looks lost
Might even be
But for now
just don’t belong
You can not fix
The image always
stayed the same
It just might be
something
Left alone
To make me feel ok
Now and again I try
Still I fall for the easy side of doubt

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don't stay down. When in doubt, don't stop believing.
