“I Believe: Write your personal credo of things you believe in.”
Believing.
Belief is..a strange thing.
It can only exist
From within, and only
Thrive on what cannot be seen or touched or felt..
Except in the most
Unconventional of ways.
Curious. Very curious, this thing called belief.
Biased and strange and dangerous and powerful too.
They say she’s crazy for
Believing ghosts exist. But,
Who are you to tell her
The world we know it exists?
Belief is like
Knowing you exist somewhere within
The realm of Tangible things..like bedcovers, computers and cellphones
And also knowing that you could possibly exist
No where. at All.
Plato got it right the first time. What is truly reality, what is truth, which do we choose
to have faith in?
Belief is trust. It’s trusting that the Universe has a set laws of nature
That we know nothing about, but can merely guess.
It’s trusting that
What goes around comes around. Or that
God is real and not all-powerful or he is all-powerful but apathetic.
Who are you to tell me
What to believe in?
Who am I? To condemn you
Or rebuke you
For your beliefs?
Belief is knowing that even though
I was a simple fuck to boys who like to call themselves men
I am not my mistakes, I am not my shame, and I am not
Accountable for anyone else’s standards
But my own.
Belief is knowing that God is kind, patient and loving
It’s knowing that even though atheists and polytheists rebuke Him
He will still let them into Heaven if they were good people to other Human Beings.
Belief is knowing that Kenneth Hernandez will always have
Love for me, and I for him
And it’s believing that I can be happy and loving towards another
Belief is knowing that no amount of money, nor jewelry, nor any
Tangible thing on this godforsaken earth
Will fulfill me.
It’s knowing that kindness, compassion, passion, unconditional love, and
writing my itty bitty big heart out
On a piece of paper, will always bring me a happiness that
This materialistic, patriarchal world never could.
Belief is acceptance. It’s accepting the past for what it is
And accepting the future for whatever will come. It’s
Accepting yourself and others, good, bad, or indifferent.
It’s accepting that you can walk on water, and people will still say you cannot swim.
And it’s accepting that having faith in the intangible
Gifts we call life, love, passion, and kindness
Are the only things worth believing in.
