Do Not Hide

Slowly we seek to obfuscate
All the beauty that we create
Instead we ourselves inebriate
And try to drown our sorrows

But with the sorrows we destroy
So too are lost our hope and joy
And replacing them in our employ
Are only darker tomorrows

With the sadness and the pain
With the sorrow in the rain
We can find true life again
Within all that we’ve striven

Do not hide from what life bears
Whether lofty dreams or weighty cares
For in living we are made aware
Of the gift of life we’re given
