AND sometimes

and sometimes we learn right where we stand
And sometimes we must make the choice to take a step

And sometimes it doesn’t always make sense
And sometimes the confusion feels most at home

and sometimes the heart aches more than planned
and sometimes the pain reveals the forgiveness

And sometimes you’re too alone
And sometimes that solitude is the only resting place

And sometimes restlessness is still not enough
And sometimes rest is absolutely necessary

And sometimes shame comes into play
and sometimes letting go of blame makes us stronger

And sometimes we forget how to love
and sometimes loss of love is the only thing to get us through

And sometimes were in denial of self
And sometimes resistance is safe on both ends

And sometimes the truth is on replay
And sometimes I’d rather you lie

And sometimes the silence is noisiest
And sometimes I drown from your words

And sometimes questioning makes or breaks
And sometimes the risk is the only freedom

And sometimes I’m just sad
And sometimes the tears bring the joy

and sometimes doubt plays a big role - more often than not
And sometimes I can only rely on hope

and sometimes from that hope
I remember mostly, always…
I have faith

And ‘sometimes’ doesn’t exist with faith
Because faith is mostly, always
and sometimes that’s exactly what I need to hear
