(A lone voice whispers)
Hey you
You do realize
You picked this life
Before you were born
All the people you've met
Loved
Hated
Family
Friends
Lovers
Situations
Hardships
Encountered
In whatever nation
When you signed your soul's timeline
Up high
Somewhere
In the Deep Divine
It may be a strange thing
Knowing this
But consoling
All the same
In a bizarre way
Souls
Some say
Need to face
Trials and tribulations
To soar higher
To be refined
So maybe
What you're presently
Going through
Is a journey of love or pain
You
Yes
You
Have already planned
To go through
Again
So view challenges
In a new way
Don't be daunted
Scared or swayed
Face them with courage
And fortitude
For to not do so
This time around
Would be rude
Or you could just crumble
And turn to dust
Only to ask
For the same experience
Again
With your soul
Entombed in a new husk
So trust your instincts
And I hope and pray
This got you thinking
That all you're enduring
You've asked for
Even knowing me
Via this poetic review
To remind you
Keep going
You still have
So much to do
