Rav Nachman Said That The Key Is Not To Be Afraid

I wonder if he was a painfully shy and sad kid
I wonder if he was bad at sports and chosen last
I wonder if he felt supported and safe at home
I wonder if he knew how hard the next step is
I wonder if he had a job and a boss and consumers
I wonder if his doctor told him he must lose weight
I wonder if he saw his parents grow old and sick
I wonder what his physical/mental health was like
I wonder if he ever wondered about who he was
I wonder if he ever felt so alone he wanted to cry
I wonder if he felt he had many things he could lose
I wonder if he would have helped me be less afraid
I wonder if I can get this key and unlock my fears

I'd show you how I glide, my feet just off the ground
How i get messages through itches in my knee caps
How i read souls for fun
But I'm afraid
More than anything 
That you wouldn't remember what I share
And then I'll wonder what, if anything, is real

Wars

Outside, inside

Nowhere to hide

From you to me

In us, unfree

With blood and without

In whispers and shouts

With strokes, with blows

Unannounced, we all know

Between enemies, amongst friends

Without beginning or end

On the news, in our heads

Pray for peace, let's transcend

For Facebook

The long distance loneliness that cuts so deep
The elusiveness of peace, the need for good sleep
The darkness that through the light facade seeps
The monotonous counting of paradoxical sheep

The things we wonder about each-other and don’t say
The look in your eyes that makes me look away
The courage it takes to just face another day
The simple complexities of the power play
