The world of pain and power


In this world we believe their is a lack of light,

I mean look at 2020

all everyone saw was fear

fear of fire

fear of government

fear of people and politics

fear of a virus

fear of each other

fear of ourself

fear of 2021

However what I saw through the pain was power,

power to put out the fires

power to stand up against the government

power to see through the political lies

power to fight the virus

power to come together for one another

power to stay home and love ourselves

and most importantly 

power to go on into a new year after being put through hell.

We have the power to love and fight for what is right

We remember the people we have lost

but come out stronger 

to fight for them and ourselves
