no one died

I used to think
It took strength 
to take on the inevitable terrors that were coming my way
to meet the eyes of the people who would bring me down
to face the bad things that were just around the corner.

Imagine if everything I believed came true.

I know now 
It takes strength
to take on the inevitable opportunities that are coming my way
to meet the eyes of those who will bring me up
to face the good things that are around the corner.

Imagine if everything  I believe comes true.
