VULNERABILITY WILL FIX YOU

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
It is scary to venture into a place that’s unknown.
You might get harmed, and you might get hurt.
You have to eat your dinner before your dessert.

Things may go wrong and things may go right,
but don’t look for the dark, look for the light.
When you focus on the bad things, that appear.
You miss the good things, that can come near.

You are playing a victim and looking the part,
Missing what you could have, from the start.
Things happen for a reason, just have faith too.
And let the events of the universe happen to you.

Things might happen that make you want to cry;
Just sit, contemplate, and start to wonder why.
The bad things can make you pause the scene.
Should you show forgiveness or just be mean.

If you hit pause, you can see the present clip;
Slowing things down so that you can get a grip.
Focus on every angle, perspective and view
And watch good things start to happen to you.
