As the chaos of the world moves closer & closer to home
I had no choice but to reengage & find out what was going on
As my heart breaks & my soul bleeds
I fear for my child & the world she is going to have to live in
Such unspeakable horrors
Everyday, in every country
It is enough to make you want to slump
Hide in as much protection as you can muster
Maybe the doomsdayers are onto something
Yet here I am, trying to be more
Struggling to find a place of higher consciousness
Hoping to make even a small impact
To bring some little beauty into such darkness
It would be so easy, so comfortable
To lose myself once again into myself
Open the bottle, plug back into the fantasy
Let the world pass me by
Leave the fight for light to someone who is less sensitive
Hole up & protect me & mine, be like everyone else
But I cannot, because I know there is more & I simply must have more
Either what I believe is true, or I need medication
