Reach for the Sky

They tell us,

To put our hands up,

To reach for the sky.

But you can't reach that.

And we are well aware of that fact

And yet we do,

Maybe we just want to believe;

Or pretend we are letting go of everything

That has been holding us back,

Everything that has guarded our hearts,

Everything that has kept us awake at 2 am.

We put our hands up,

And reach for the sky,

To forget everything,

And be in complete bliss,

Even if it may just be for that moment.
