Faithful Lines

when that thing that was a struggle 

is a struggle again

when that weight that was around you 

pulls heavier than before 

when the knock at the door 

is again an unwelcome guest 

when the feelings inside are brutal 

when the conflict outside leaves you destitute 

in this there is hope 

when I fall

I will rise 

yet maybe there is something more 

for in the struggle 

in the weightiness

in the battle 

in the emotional turmoil 

there is hope 

there is the realization 

that I will fall 

I will fail 

again and again and again 

but when I say 

that I will rise 

let a moment of honesty ring true 

I will not rise 

I will be lifted
