Pause, inhale
Think before you act, speak, scream
Bridle the fear
You will not be
Hurt, cast aside, neglected
See in their eyes
That glimmer of good intentions
And the absence of all you fear.
Pause, inhale
Assume not the worst
See the long road ahead
A sad finality it is not
You may hit a bump, but
Forget not
Change is the only constant.
Pause, inhale, believe
That things…
Get better with time.
