Growing

Silence in the setting sun,
Liberty in a breeze,
Everything that sets you free,
Can bring you to your knees.

Family, friends, the ones you love,
Can lift you up so high,
When you fall, you lose it all,
A piece of you will die.

Loss of trust, surreal truths,
You never thought you'd know,
Can surface in the depths of life,
To drag you down below.

Kick and fight to reach the top,
Never just give in,
Lift your vision from the pain,
Build that strength within.

Perfect people don't exist,
For surely, we too, stumble,
And we can cause ourselves such pain,
Our world to fall and crumble.

Somewhere there's a balance,
We learn through time and change,
That life is never set in stone,
It's beautiful, yet strange.

So melt into the setting sun,
Soar into the breeze,
Think of something beautiful,
If you're thrown upon your knees.
