Imagine

Imagine the day when you finally awake,

Not just physically, but with emotions at stake.

When the world seems crazy, turned upside down,

And everything you knew is nowhere to be found.

Your naïveté gone, no matter your age,

A time where there isn’t anywhere safe.

Imagine that feeling, the tears streaming down,

Your heart won’t stop racing, your mouth in a frown.

This can’t be happening, I’m going to scream,

We are living our Nightmares instead of our dreams.

Just when you break, when your sanity cracks,

You try to calm down, you look at the facts.

You shut it all down, and you close those sad eyes,

You relinquish the fear,

You block out all the lies.

You focus on the simple, the littlest of things,

You remember the beauty, a flower can bring.

That the sun is still shining, and your on solid ground,

Your family surrounds you, there’s strength to be found.

The ice cream truck sings, with kids running down the street,

You focus on giggles, the sound of tiny feet.

Hamburgers are cooking, you recognize the smell..

Of a hot sizzling grill, and the memories they tell.

It finally hits you, you have to let go,

Of everything happening, that’s out of your control.

Imagine you realize, you’ve had it all wrong. It’s never the big things, that become our song.

Our life and our love, our circle of trust,

Our families and friends, even pets are a must.

These are the moments, all the little bits,

That turn ordinary words, into our greatest hits.

Imagine if all the little things, were all that we see,

Because that will be the day,

We are finally set free!
