Peaceful lives

Common ground is not here
You are not the griever
You are not lost to me
Take your hands and raise them
Praise the life you live in
Make your way back home
Begin to feel a reason to exist

Stare down from that future
Reach back from that past
Feel the dirt at your feet
Hold it in your hands
This life is not a mess
You will do what you can
Now is not the past
The moment is yours to last

Tear up your excuses
They are lies that abuse you
Face up to your expression
It is you in reaction to everyone you know
To the world you glow
Don’t be sad, when you are happy
Mirror your soul
Slip it into your own skin
Let it walk with you
Be a friend, be a friend

You are not alone
