A Church called Hope and Inner Belief

 

 (A lone voice whispers)

Do you perhaps need some inspiration on this Halloween 

Do know courage comes from deep within

And can be found and easily seen

For only

You can really see

Beyond what lies

Before your bright

All-knowing eyes

For only you

Can rebuild your hopes and foundations up

To design your own inner church

Where belief can then reside

A safe place to occasionally cry

But a green zone where it never really dies

For only you

Are tasked with

Illuminating your soul

Through eradicating and conquering

Those sometimes monumental mind-numbing

Mountains of Self-doubts

Heartbreaks

Fear

Anxiety 

Depression

Or lies

And whatever else out of Pandora's purple box 

Happens to fall out

Will you take

The lone walk

Amongst those hidden inner emotional realms

To explore those hidden

Narratives

And painfully walk onto eventual rebirth 

Through newer possibilities

You maybe hide from

Can you find the deep courage 

To try to persevere

Before your inner kingdom stars fall

Breaking into a thousand lonely pieces of metaphorical silver

Is it within you

To climb that big lonely mountain of Doubts and Fears

And go beyond those painful Plateaus 

After wiping away those wet tears

To a newer

Sanctuary of Strength and Courage

To your new

Beloved Church

For only you can ever truly know and feel

Hope and Inner Beliefs

Soft kiss 

As they both whisper

You can do this
