what a struggle 

no 

but i must reach higher 

go 

places i've never been 

so

that i can reach the eye of the storm 

i must get there

its my only goal 

but should it really be?

look around me

i see people 

i see places 

many familer faces 

i can't let that go 

just for a while..

no! 

not at all 

i musn't let these moments pass. 

can't go i hit a wall

they must not pass..

is this really all?

they must not pass...

so caught up in the fall

they must not pass...

my body the ground will maul

they must not pass...

as i curl into a ball

they must not pass...

and so i begin to crawl

they must not pass!...

my eyes open and the dream ends

the pain is gone, the scene fades

and i breath deeply 

i get it now. 

my family is here.

i am here 

i must spend my time here

until all my time is spent 

these moments....

they must not pass
