waking up with a thunder
and lightning over your head
conscious yet slipping off
to the memories of your pain
all the dark storms
and mounting challenges
shape up again to your troubles
as if you hadn't had enough
and struggles just don't let up
you lost all your strength
and just want to give up
can't find reasons why tears
just don't stop falling
and you stop believing
there's any beauty left in living
you're broken
dead and hopeless
and still can't remember
why you're here in the first place
then
a tiny light shines
from where all the troubles began
and your dreams spring up
one more time
as you raise your head up
and look around
you're not alone
there are more souls
more broken than you are
so stand up
pull yourself together
there is beauty in the breaking
when you forgive
and give love a chance
one more time..

that is just the way it is.
