It's not sorrow, and it's not pain.
You don't know what you're saying.
This feeling you speak of is foreign.
You feel as if your life is fraying.

Don't back away or run from it.
Stand your ground and be strong.
Open your eyes and see it for real.
You've been blinded for so long.

Without this you will shrivel.
You'll never reach the highest peak.
Forever you'll have questions.
Time will only make you weak.

This appears so very frightening.
Running seems your best bet.
I understand your fears.
But this isn't such a threat.

Call it a challenge, if you will.
And those only make you stronger.
After this nothing can stop you.
Please hold on just a bit longer.

Keep trusting with all your heart.
Never doubt how this could be.
With trust and hope we conquer.
Just wait and you will see.
