Ignoring the Anguish

Oh mother, I can feel,
No, this is not a dream,
There is an urgency to existence,
Previously unseen,

It may leave again, never to return,
Who's anyone to know,
One moment you cry to the ruthless sky,
Agonizing in self-inflicted throes,

The next, horizons open up vasty,
Nothing's impossible,
Your fortunes don't change, but you think they have,
Gone from empty to full,
Like George Bailey,
It's a wonderful life,
Start from that premise, make it your default,
My friend, you have just minimized your strife.
