Shattered dreams, broken hearts,
Buried in sorrow, drowned in worry.
Fearing what has yet to come,
Feeling pain without being hurt.
Surely, the wilderness of life stretches
Beyond this compass of
Lies, deceit, and failure.
Dream what you want to dream,
Be what you want to be.
See what is there to be seen,
Say what needs to be said.
Let go of what is unworthy,
Hold on to what is precious.
Life's simplicity lies in its complexity.
