the moment

It is the moment that we realize just how weak we are that we become very strong
It is through not trying to find what we seek that we see it has been there all along
It is through crying until your eyes feel that they will fall out that we find hope in love
It is through being angry at so many things we find forgiveness and the power of

It is through reviewing the things that we repress and ignore that we find the cause
It is through expressing panic and rage that we find out how to put it on pause
It is the moment that we have the deepest loss that we find the definition of love
It is through investigating the darkness inside that we find the light from above

It is through carrying all the misery we have in our lives that our backs become strong
It is through making so many awful mistakes that we learn what is right from what's wrong
It is through being worn down by the grinder of life that we become sharp as a tack
It is the moment that you give up trying to solve it all you will find the answers you lack

It is the moment that you realize how much you are loved that you see how perfect they are
It is the moment that you realize how short your life is that the journey doesn't seem that far
It is through understanding that we are here for the dance that you find your place on the floor
It is through spending time looking up at the stars that you finally find your way to the shore
