What would it take
to go back to the old days
of nothing but bliss and sanity
of having the world figured out
even though we knew nothing?What would it take
to taste the sky for what it is
without worrying about
how to get there
or how we could keep
our hands clean while
we grip the rungs?What would it take, now,
to keep on walking this path
through sickness and health
or through silence and noise
What would it take
to live fully without fearing
what we might lose?Life may be a journey
but death is the road
we trek upon
—just aimless, there's
really not a set one
for our way—
So I ask you now
as I near the end
of what used to be me—
What would it take
to crawl out of the shadows
years of neglect built?
Tell me, what would it take
for us to go and start taking space
What would it take for us
to keep fighting, to not quit?
