Sometimes life throws so many curves and you can't do anything but hold on tight because if you slip even a little you know that you could never ever get back. These curves try to show you that life is testing you and how you must be stronger and better than what is thrown at you, but all you want to do is shutdown and try not to think because it's easier and it's better. But you have to open your eyes and resist every urge you have to squeeze them tight to try to block out the pain and the frustration and the loathing and the fear because there maybe a light; something so small and powerful that it makes the curves worth it. The lights that dot the darkness are the most important because they are bright enough to shine through everything and they might quite possibly be the thing that saves you.

It’s a day, a drink, a moment
A thought in the cold
It’s the snow swirling, the ringing laughter
A warm feeling
It’s the joy of a day, a burned tongue
A swirl of colors
It’s moments
A smile, a hug, a group
It’s a thread that weaves through a life
It’s the moments that come together
It’s a full life

Crowding people loom like trees
A look of pity, breath catches heart stops,
then speeds
Ba-***, ba-***, ba-***, ba-***
Thoughts swirl and swirl around and around
Silence bears over muted voices
Turning, world shifts, you’re walking, now running
Twist, turn, the dark encroaches, falling
And then only
Silence

Sometimes you need to put your past behind you to move on
Sometimes the pain needs to be let go
Sometimes the wrongs of the past should not be allowed to influence the future
Sometimes you need to live not just survive
Sometimes time needs to be for you and you only
Sometimes belief can triumph
Sometimes wishes can come true
Sometimes you should run, not walk, leap not jump
And sometimes you need to just breathe

— The End —
