Lessons taught and yet to teach
Unfurl themselves from your unknown depths
Power and promise, false for each
To prove corruption with every breath
Alone, the world is blind
A push to prove our selfish ways
A push to see the truth
The people try to avert their gaze
Misfortune exists to improve
A lesson staked with life
Be appreciative...It could be worse
A new phrase engraved in my mind
My family, my friends, in love I’m immersed
My perspective was altered, by design
How strange a new normal
My want for change ever increases
Never more have my close ones been so appreciated
Taken for granted, my old normal left
And from my hopes, my life deviated
For good or not, that’s yet to be seen
