What Changes Lie Ahead

June 21, 2021

We look into the dark We can't know what's there What changes lie ahead Just beyond our vision So we squint and speculate But we can only do so much Until we venture down that dark tunnel

There are those terrified of that darkness It's unknown, uncomfortable, and strange Anything could be there It wasn't what they knew so long ago It wasn't the way it was before And that could mean anything It could mean everything changes That they don't have the comforts they used to Or that other people get what they have While only working half as hard

So they fight to keep things the same They spread fear into the hearts of all those that can hear them They spin lies like wool Claiming they will keep you safe

But lies only divide us That fear won't go away Change is all around us That dark tunnel is still there Waiting, watching, knowing that one day you too will have to venture down it

So hold your head up high and take that first step For only when you gather your courage will you have a chance of peace Only by accepting what is different can you ever truly accept yourself
