Shh... Try Again


Quiet now. I’ll try again. 
I don’t care what the world says about how hard things are. 
I will not believe, I ever have to not believe, in goodness.

The sun rises everyday right?

I will not give up.

There IS more to this world than pavement and paychecks, 
there is more to this world than fear.

And if more of us fought not to pull others down, 
but to lift others up, I think things might start looking 
a little different around here.

Quiet now. I have a plan. I don’t care if you think it does not make sense. I believe sense is a personal thing.

Let's take out the scrub brushes and resolve to break resentment one piece at a time. Or…we could blast it apart with a canon thingy.

I will not give up.

There is much to do and I will not settle. 
I will not put a harness on wishful thinking.

Quiet now.
