Faith Over Fear

An ode to hope

The enemy thought he got the best of me. Tried to takes what’s left of me.

Fear can keep you prisoner, but faith can set you free.

You can imprison humanity with a handful of lies.

But with a flicker of unshakable faith you can dismantle the lies.

The world gets darker right before it gets brighter.

Flick your lighter on and show them that you’re a fighter.

When the title wave comes find the sea legs to swim through it.

You may get wet, but you’ll get through it and live through it.

May your every ounce of faith stay true to the letter.

Choose faith over fear and everything will get better.
