There are times when
All the weights, worries,
and fears of the world
Press down on us.
We will never reach our goals
or fulfill our dreams.
Everything is hopeless
and there is nothing we can do.
What do we call this?
Stress? Anxiety? Depression?
There is no one word to sum up
the myriad of feelings involved.
Oftentimes it is easy, even tempting,
to let these emotions consume us,
Turn us into an empty shell,
prematurely dead.
But there is always light
at the end of the tunnel.
There is always hope
for those who truly seek it.
Every obstacle can be conquered,
no matter how insurmountable it may seem.
Every mountain can be climbed,
no matter how high.
Every dragon can be slain,
no matter how fierce.
If.
If you are brave enough to try.
