Do you not see? Your enemies await you at every corner,
better equipped and better prepared than you could ever hope to be.
And when you slip and fall, an all too eager foot will knock you right back down.
You know your weaknesses all too well, your shortcomings, inadequacies.
And so will your enemies, who won’t hesitate to exploit the obvious.
There is no divine intervention, only the dream of an idealist.
It was luck all along, and you’ve had more than your share to last a lifetime.
Pain? You don’t even know the idea of it.
Your downfall will be as big as your ballooning ego.
And you shall lie in bed of lonely solitude, surrounded by nothing but empty dreams.
Give up. Admit defeat. There is no glory in being wrong.
Do you not believe? There is a reason for your birth.
When you became self aware, you knew it.
Even your attempt to discredit it drove you closer to your destiny.
The world awaits your maturity, your emergence.
Your patience will be tested and so will your will.
And you’ve only begun to prepare for your first step.
But never fear for the Lord your God shall never forsake you,
Even when your friends abandon you and your enemies damn you.
No one will believe, but miracles weren’t meant to be believed.
You will achieve a feat greater than the world’s wildest imagination.
For your omnipotent ally wills it and your inevitable destiny awaits it.
And the world will know that Jehovah is God.
