If it is important, one will find a way If it is not, one will seek an excuse Clarity is sobering Especially when it is one's self that has been defined The fear has yet to release its hold Although I fight against its grip And hope to one day take that deep breath of freedom You have inspired that hope to heights never reached The miracle is just beyond With love, there is patience And joy knowing that it is right there, so close Lend your hand, for the length of its reach is more than mine This I ask. My attempt to find a way. You are important to me. So very much.
