Blurred Vision

The world seems to crumble

the moment we stumble.

The straight line we wish to walk

bends. The life we built falls apart

and fractures form in our hearts.

One day, we stand tall. The next day,

we sit still. Hurt and wounded,

we slap bandaids on our cuts.

We face the day: no ifs, ands, or buts.

Chaos ensues. There is nowhere to turn.

We try to put out fires that’ll always burn.

We feel stuck – down on our luck.

Life hits hard with no time to duck.

We have demons, but we also have

angels. There is a constant battle

between good and evil.

Monsters walk this earth.

Suits run the world. Deep inside

every soul is a beauty to behold.

Despite the friction and attrition,

we must complete our mission.

Days pass us by. Weeks grow wings

and fly. Months turn to years.

When tomorrow comes, yesterday

fades away. The future is bright,

regardless of the dark past.

Trouble that comes will not last.

Life happens and so does death.

We must live on and love endlessly.

We mustn’t be afraid of pain.

Appreciate the rainbow that

comes from the rain.
