"End Like This"

 

There are those moments...

When we come to realize...

That our thoughts connect a pattern given...

Time strings together emotions and memories

Experiences and actions...

The bitter truths...

And every shade of a lie...

Because hurt only comes from trust stolen

As the eyes bring into view the same picture

There is so much repetition...

The negative casts its shadows

And without correction, all intentions blind the direction forward

We are not this anger given to us

Nor are we the hate carried within others

Each day is a choice...

To fear or thrive...

How do you wish to survive?

Our legacy is not others past wrongs doings

We have to be a being learned from history in motion forward

Peace does not come from pieces...

Healing the broken is ending the spinning circle of darkness

By standing strong within the light

We have the ability to change

The hope is given

Find the courage to allow it...

Know the difference...

Because you are the difference...

Acknowledge the power given and taken

Be the new hope as a seed planted

Tend to the growth

Believe in the change

Let it end like this...

And begin with you.
