reach out

over the lakes that dip so low

over the mountains that bar your way

over the deserts that dry your soul

over the war that tears at your heart

over the sounds that shred your mind

over the politics that cloud the skies

over the emotions that clog your heart

over the words that really hurt

over the trails that other people have taken

over the imaginaries that are holding you back

over the buildings that used to stand

over the vast expanses of broken promises

over the dreams that others gave up

over the hearts that have been broken

over the people who tell you you cant

over the wall that you've built up

and find yourself
