The sweet embrace of familiarity
The taste of freedom
The sight of paradise all imprinted in a distant memory of when life was actually memorable
These memories that flash in and out when in our most silent and vulnerable moments
Reminding us of better days lived giving a little hope and way for a future of better days
But as the harsh days go on
Where headline after headline is some tragic event that most likely ended in a tragic death
Where going outside has become lethal with just a simple greeting
Where ptsd of human interaction is the real cause of anxiety
Because the air we breathe and share can cost us a life worthy of lives
Where the memories we hold of these times become so traumatic that it leaves us no choice but to bury it deep deep down locked in a box to never pull out
We are past the point of ever going back to a normalization of our lives
Overcome
Disaster
Overcome disaster
Heal
Fear
Heal the fear that has instilled within your heart
That yearning and longing for better days is to come
For we live every passing moment keeping in mind that greatness is harnessed in every moment
And within that moment we hold the power to control its outcome
No matter what’s outside
No matter what surrounds
It’s within that the memories are kept and replayed for our soul
That sweet familiarity
