Today's prompt is "faith."

The melody I used for the "chorus" section was based on the sheet I scrawled on mobile Sketchbook in this post years ago. The rest was improvised in a matter of minutes. I do want to make a lyrical version of this at some point in the future, who knows.

I wanted to convey, in this piece, how faith and optimism are two different things to me -- faith is the act of not letting go of the things I hold dearest to me when any optimism about things getting better is lost.

The manuscript was one of many ideas floating about in my head at the time of the 2014 Audio Deathmatch, an incident that had caused much grief and still does to this day. I persist, and I now have the power to make some changes that I did not see when I needed them the most.
