Something I learnt about unicorns

When all lights went off
and all colors have faded
when words were silenced
and disguised as small jokes

When inside our hearts
pumped fear and sorrow
when we had to pretend
that we were not broke.

When life hit us back
to the world we were ignoring
when we were reminded
the other side to the rope,

We sat down with you,
crying a smile that had to be there
We sat down with you
not knowing to cope.

And you took our hearts
and you took our fears,
and decided to change
the direction of our hope.

You dared to tell life
you are better than darkness,
You dared to tell us
your colors won´t fade.

You took all the pieces
of your wounded warrior
you gave them to us
so we could remake.

And that´s you, right there
your essence, your fierce.
Your vital nutrients
you give to this world.

And that´s magic, right there
the unexpected great turn,
when mud and despair
made a new hero bloom.
