Why does the world embrace mediocrity,
Yet shun the brilliance of true excellence?
Why will someone harbor hate towards you,
When you’ve done naught to deserve their disdain?
Why do they speak ill of you,
Spewing venomous words without cause?
Why do some revel in making others suffer,
Turning lives into a relentless trial?
Why do they delight in your downfall,
Instead of celebrating your triumphs?
Why, oh why, does this happen?
My heart aches with these questions,
My head throbs with the weight of it all,
My eyes fill with tears,
And my body trembles with disbelief.
Yet, in the midst of this turmoil,
I find solace in knowing that God is our refuge,
A steadfast anchor in the stormy seas of life.
With His strength and courage,
I face tomorrow with a renewed spirit,
And with eyes that see beyond the darkness.
