Free ourselves from being held
Back to the places
We grew up from
While we can remember
The times
Young and restless
Fearless
Without the caution
Living inside a mold
Not created
By you or me
Or you
Yet we hustle in this system
Fearful
Accepting this way
Then finding a sliver
Of hope
From the messages
Of hope
To thrive in suffering
As its the only way
Living outside the lines
In your mind
There you can be free from it
There you can build hope
From your own design
With the help of the others
We cannot see
Feeling anyway
Even when we can’t feel anymore
Masks at the entrance
Masks at the exit
No mask outside
In your head
With all the possibility
Imagining
What if you don’t
Try
Then you will live a life
As you created
From the places you doubted
Without knowing why
From somewhere else
Not ours
Or yours
Or mine
Different ways to say old things
Each ways a chance
To believe
Even in this system
We did not create
For ourselves
