Over

The courage to meet yourself fully

By Marcus HillPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

Feelings glued deep within,

never ready to face the truth.

Denial wins the race

of mistakes and wrongdoings.

Bowing your head doesn’t clear the path to happiness—

not until every choice is made

around love and faith.

Strive for righteousness over selfishness,

even when the lines blur.

Build your joy on inspiration—

the kind that sparks change.

Fail to do so,

and the soul fractures.

Progress slows.

Fight for more.

Don’t settle for temporary pleasure.

Who you are remains unknown

if you never show it—

and that breeds conflict

between the person you dream of

and the one you truly are.

To wonder if you’re capable

is the doubter’s game—

especially after walking in faith.

The only thing worth stealing

is time.

It can’t be bought,

and it won’t be returned.

Recognize the strength you’ve been blessed with.

Embrace God’s gift…

YOU.
