When we sit and sulk
time crawls
self-pity tortures the soul
And all the lights dim
Turn your face to the sun
Embrace the warmth
Think upon beauty
And be free
Walk, saunter, jog, run
Move and be
Don’t hold your position
Advance and charge
Adjust your posture, Sit up
Hold your head high
Pull your shoulders back
And look with possibility
New mercies, New favors
New paths, New words, New ways
Call me by a different name
And give me work
Let me see
And let me build
Let me hear
And let me play
Let me feel
and let me love
Let me smell
And let me rest
In every new found hope lies more power
So hew from the stones an image
Find a fantastic story to tell yourself
And forge a better world
Some lies tell better than others
So choose wisely
Nothing like barbs of doubts sticking in the conscience
Insecurity’s a vacuum
You can lose yourself there
It’ll drag you through hell
And you’ll wake up two decades later wondering where it all went?
