It can be hard
To keep
Focus on
The bigger picture
Not to be drawn
Into the
The dark
All too easy to
Lose sight
Lose perspective
And focus inward
Till a saviour comes along
Like sun rays shining through the clouds
The light always follows the storm
A welcome glimpse of things still to come
Like lifting of a heavy weight
When shoulders have been under strain
A new point to kick off from
Pressures all around
Can force
Inner demons
To the surface
With no chance to take a breath
Often it takes
Helping hands
To break the chain
And end the cycle
A chance to get out from underneath
