Pain and sorrow
From another time
Made up my mind
That this is how it would always be

But an invitation
Arrived today
To a different way
Of seeing things

It’s a lens of hope
It changes the scope of vision
To see outside these walls

If I bow my head
and close my eyes (it said)
I’ll see more clearly
The possibilities.

Everything can change in an instant
My heart relies on information
From within
And That informs my eyes.

I see past the fear
Through the walls
To a world I’d only dreamed of
Where everything is possible.
