§


We wander through this life
donning a thousand masks,
all the while believing
that nothing we do is of any consequence.
He compartmentalize,
and after countless failures
many give up.
But there is Hope!
There is always potential for growth.
The stagnant swamp we dwell in
year after year,
afraid of the criticisms of our youth,
the slingstones and arrows of our foes,
is not the only reality.
Lashing out and trying to ****
those who want to help us
solves nothing.
It only makes us into the monster
that they think we are.
We are not monsters
We are beautiful angels.
Reach through the shadows.
Stop being afraid,
take my hand now!
There is hope.
For every last one of us.
No matter how hopeless
we may think we are.
Despair is the only illusion.
Shatter it, cast off your masks
and come walk with me.
I know who you are...
You know me...
I have lied before, tell me
Am I lying now?
