' Everything happens for a reason'

True.
This is a true statement.
It doesn't make it a positive statement, or a comforting statement.
In fact, it seems less than comforting.


'Just be patient'

I am being patient, at least I feel as though I am.
Patience cannot be measured.
Patience is ambiguous.
What I consider patience may differ from what someone else considers patience.

'I understand'

Doubt it.
Doubt is apparent always.
Doubt in my situation.
Doubt in my friends.
When I say 'I doubt it', I am challenging you to try.

'Don't worry'

Impossible.
Though I'm usually the one giving this advice, I find this increasingly hard to follow.
I agree that worrying is pointless.
I agree than it is completely useless.
It remains a constant.

'There's hope'

There is.
I know there is.
However, this phrase is somehow unsettling to me.
It makes me grimmace.
In my heart and soul, and I am not completely sure of it's truth.
