Our Beautiful, Imperfect Struggle

If every soul lived in mutual respect, In days of peace where no one ever gets hurt, A place as still as the mirror-like sea— If that world existed from the very start, Then tell me, where would the stories be born? The ones that shake our hearts to the core. In a frictionless world, no fire can ignite, In silence so clear, so empty and white. In this vast room where we’re standing alone, With never a worry for what lies ahead, What kind of vision could we hope to draw? Kindness found at the edge of our sorrow, Strength that’s born from the pain of today. In this imperfect world, we will always find The light that is waiting to shine from within, And paint a world that is vibrant and true. Colliding together, we carry our scars, Chasing an exit through shadows and dark. In the heart of the storm, in the noise of the crowd, If we struggle and make it through one more day, This is the proof that will shake our souls, The mark of the life that we’ve made. Sparking a flame where the friction is high, Lighting the path to the dawn of tomorrow. In this messy room where the chaos remains, Sending our prayers to the future ahead, We’ll color the world with the beauty we find. Kindness found at the edge of our sorrow, Strength that’s born from the pain of today. In this imperfect world, we will always find The light that is waiting to shine from within, And paint a world that is vibrant and true. Every stumble, every mistake we make, Is a brushstroke on the canvas of our fate. In the friction of our souls, a heat begins to rise, Turning grayest days into a bright sunrise. We’re not broken, we’re just beautifully unrefined, Leaving all the shadows of the "perfect" far behind. Kindness found at the edge of our sorrow, Strength that’s born from the pain of today. In this imperfect world, we will always find The light that is waiting to shine from within, And paint a world that is vibrant and true. Yes, we’ll paint a world that’s vibrant and true! This precious, imperfect world. I will love it through to the end. (Loving it all...)
