Break-
Breaking
Clouds in the sky
Grey before dusk
The sun never shines
The dark never sets
The world’s not breaking
You are
It’s empty As far as you can see
There is nothing out there
But shredded glass
The lenses aren’t breaking
You are
Dead and drooping
Lifeless and colorless
A painful brown is crackling T
he flowers petals have fallen
They aren’t breaking
You are
The Earth is crumbling
More like rumbling
But nothing moves an inch
Yet everything still falls apart
The planet isn’t breaking
You are
The light flickers
Then simply goes out
It is dark and cold
Blurred by little puffs of white smoke
Light isn’t breaking
You are
Crystal clear they all tell you
If only you could see
The water has flooded
The dam is corroded
The basin is not breaking
You are
Seeing things go awry
And imagery be shattered
Is anything but easy
It’s an excuse to not go on
Yet if you give yourself the chance
To make amends
You may just be
Gr-
Grow-
Growing
Into the person you hope to one day be
Full of life Laughter
Happiness
And most of all
The chance to overcome them all
To go on
To succeed
And achieve
The impossible
The unthinkable
The unmistakable
And the true miracles.
