Because I am silent …

does not mean that I’m void of words to speak.

Because I am laid back …

does not mean that I lack energy to support the meek.

Because I am puzzled and confused …

does not mean I cannot find a way.

Because I am seemingly lost today …

does not mean I cannot be a part of a new found day.

Because I lack wisdom to know what to do …

does not mean I won’t find the answers to get me through.

Because I cannot see a clear path to navigate …

does not mean my dreams will dissipate.

Because my present circumstances are totally unclear …

does not mean the future is dark and drear.

Because my stamina is shaky at best …

does not mean I’ll ultimately fail the test.
