A SINGLE LIT MATCH

When chaos reigns in our hearts, It dulls even the sharpest of minds, shredding our confidence apart, like great levees eroded over time.

Failure feels predictable and certain,
catastrophic collapse is on its way,
swearing this your final curtain,
and you have reached the end of your days.

Yet outcomes are never preordained,
something can always change the tide.
Living hearts are never completely drained,
so don’t pack it in before the end of your ride!

It takes the faith of just one single thought,
and the effort of just one single scratch.
Because even the deepest and darkest of caves, are brightened by a single lit match!
