Expose Yourself

Above the wasteland of life
Fly the vultures of regret
Ready to plunge upon our souls
As we give into nothingness

Let not the birds consume
But rather consume them
Allow them not purpose
By allowing your life one

Step from beneath their shadow
By standing directly in the light
Welcoming new hope and change
Giving each day a reason for thanks
