I saw a wall
Full of busy people
They dreamed of each other
Day and night

But something is keeping them apart
A small needle in their heart
They each held them tightly
Afraid to let go

This needle of self-blame
Is broken by a mirror
It reflects a silent secret
Of how perfect you are

Why must we hurt ourselves
To eat up that pain and regret
To let the thought of peace
Rob the need for growth

Yet from what peace
Can this needle bring
For all that we need
Is to let it drop

Happiness needs no reason
Acceptance needs no condition
Love needs no requirement
Faith needs no question

So drop that needle
And get back your innocence
To be happy for no reason
To be happy
just because you can
I hope this one makes you feel better.
