so many faces 

and so many places

and so many races just run in a blur 

trying to get by, trying to succeed 

silent,

seeing through all those lines

empty, but not so 

rest your head, 

rest and wait 

for the next day,

for the sun to peek out from behind the clouds

time to learn, 

time to grow, 

time to change things-

yes, you are capable

you're not falling back you're still 

wiser-

stronger-

better than before 

close your eyes, 

dream for a second 

do what you dare,

not what they tell you to 

because what they tell you and what you need might be two different things

fevered flashes, 

that isn't you 

surrounded but alone 

alone but surrounded 

just one voice-

with the power to change things 

just don't hide it away in silence 

open your eyes and i'll show you the light 

look, i dare you 

you might be surprised 

by what you see

I like this one. And writing, just taking the time to write and to relax from a kind of stressful day, that's nice, you know?
