Late Night Thoughts

It's Okay

Slow down, and take a breath
There is so much life between paradise and death
Dreams are ever-changing because you are too
There is nothing wrong with not knowing what to do
Once upon a time you had fallen in love with life
It's not hard to see how disappointment follows the strife

There's no black hole
But plenty of corners in which to cry
Your soul is wounded
It's okay to acknowledge why

Avoidance can only take you so far
There's only so many miles you can travel by car
By train, by boat, by airplane, by foot
Ugliness will be found whether in grassy plains or soot

But to life there is balance
You've found it before
And without darkness's absence you'll find it and more

There is no finish line before the end
You can either fight it
Or accept struggle as an old friend

But for now you can breathe
Find the shade from a tree and rest underneath
Cast your net where you are and see what you find
Discomfort can be peaceful if you know your own mind
