As Life Stares Back

Noise over there draws attention from the chaos right here…
Collectively all of it together creating the moments we fear.

We sprint from hell to walk amongst the peaceful moments we dreamed…
Everything comes to a quiet stroll full of beauty just as it seemed.

Steps once traveled lit our path while our heart led the way…
The difference is that we pushed through to the very end today.

We brushed our problems of as our strides turned to leaps…
We avoided darkness, our demons, and the ways their sadness creeps.

Life will judge…
We must not waiver or budge…
As we move forward in life with a smile and let go of each grudge.
