when the heart is heavy
weary from the pain
and you wonder, is this it
will I go insane
don’t listen to the programming
don’t listen to the fear
don’t let the darkness fool you
remember why you’re here
you came for a reason
it is something sacred
don’t let the pain claim you
and turn you into hatred
to do so is to give to it
exactly what it wants
for light cannot be channeled
through hardened hearts
so process the pain
and open up a space
that will be required
to allow in the grace
gestate the grief
and allow it to depart
then alchemize the anger
into action and art
we have to face the shadow
both within and without
shine the light upon it
and overcome the doubt
don’t let loud voices tell you
you are weak and small
we must stand and rise above
this is the greater call
do not become the darkness
do not succumb to fear
instead remember who you are
and why it is you're here
