My people, my friends

... Once upon a time somewhere it was written...
God makes me feel heaven on earth through hellish conditions
my friends, a family, the greatest treasure that I have
through them I can see a better future
amidst the impossibility
amidst the pain I feel
Yes, I am jealous, envious
In pain all day as I realise how small I am
as I shrink around other people
People I think could do more
In pain all day as I realise how weak I am
that I cannot control what trouble come before me
In pain all day as I realise how fear can dominate me
Fear of seeing the people I love go
Fear of not seeing them
Fear of being left alone
but as the day ends I am now left alone
what is left with me is... pain
However that pain is later on turned into overwhelming joy
as God made me realise I'm not that small because he is there for me
and I must not worry for he will always make way for his grace to fill me
And that grace will be shared unto others
That I'd be able to do more that I think
That I could be better, greater
God made me realise I am strong as I went through an entire day
Full of pain yet I endured
As I have been swallowed by my own demons
Yet devoured them by faith
As I endured strongly amidst all things that happened before my eyes
God made me realise that I must not fear
for he has already filled me with courage in my heart
I mustn't fear if those people I love are not before my eyes
for he will take care of them, protect them, love them, help them
Just as much as I want to
In all that pain, he showed me the smiles of my friends, the family I belong
and the girl I love
My tears flowed as I see them all happy
My people are happy and there is no greater happiness than this
In pain, I felt joy
In fear, I felt courage
In sorrow, I felt life
As tears continually flow from my eyes I prayed
I thanked God for his love
Thank Him for my people
My friends, my loved ones
Ever grateful I am.. Always..
God has all the glory this day
His lessons abide within me

Love has overcome fear
Why must I fear if she goes to another school?
Why must I fear if he doesn't believe?
Why must I fear if he doubts himself?
Why must I fear if he is afraid?
Why must I fear if she leaves?
why must I fear if they go?
When I know God is with them
As the day ends, I keep crying
Crying out with joy as I remember their smiles, their laughter, and their dreams
I thought it was my mission to teach someone about God
Instead God taught me the lesson instead
...Religion isn't accountable for one's faith
...Love is
...Love gives birth to all things, literally and figuratively
...To life, to hope, to faith, to everything
God made me feel heaven on earth amidst all the hellish conditions
Inspiring me to continue the next day amidst all this pain

"I love my people and I will not take anything at the cost of them. It their choice to leave but I will be waiting for their return. No matter what happens, no matter what come true, even if our dreams fade away I will remain as what I am to them. I may walk in two feet wander across the world, alone, lonely and miserable, I will always remember that there is once a home I belonged to. Crazy names like THD or PG, whatever we call ourselves. With a few of us or many, those times may fade away but what we felt together will never, ever. My people, whenever I go astray, make me who I am again. Each one of them is the makings of what I'll become. I know that probably they won't read this. Or probably they won't know how much I miss them. But as ever, I will always be here. Watching. Guarding. Protecting. Loving. Unnoticed. Still. Always."-10/1/2016
