in finding faith


i have spoken to people who gave me insight about myself,
thoughtful, caring people, whose spirit uplifted mine.
across the globe, in each continent, i found individuals,
whose souls has suffered and survived.

i found out that i had and have faith.
none of which rooted from my own self.

i had faith in my religion,
but suffered from guilt and conviction.
i had faith in what i was doing,
only to find out that whatever it was that i have done, did not satisfy me.
i had faith in my family,
but such faith only creates pain.
i had faith in my friends,
but i simply suffer from one dissapointment to another.

in this time of mourning and grief,
someone told me he is jealous,
for now i have opened a new chapter in my life.
for now it means that i would leave my fucked up way of living.
for now that i don't know what else to do,
i lose whatever old faith and belief that i had,
and found a new blank page to write.

i am new.
but that does not mean that i became different.
the new thing about me,
is only a chapter in my life.

i shall begin this new chapter with a new faith.
i am trying to have faith in myself.
having faith that i can accept myself as i am.

after all,
the most important faith is to yourself.
the rest will come.
for now,
i am happy with my new faith.
