And in the moments of distress
we realize
how blessed we all are
yet we give it all away
for we are too scared
to acknowledge
the emotional wreck we have become
we are too scared
of the bad
that we stop appreciating the good
we are too scared
of the endings
that we overlook the beginnings
and still live with the hope
that one day
everything's going to be okay
and that hope is the only thing
which
will give us wings to fly
and undo the shackles binding us
to set us free...
