There is something to be said for a nighttime cry
In the middle of a storm
When no one close lingers there
To take a comforting form
There is something to be said for a whispered fear
Of rejection and regret
Because of past circumstance
When standards where never met
There is something to be said for a persevering dream
For never giving up the fight
When upsetting blows render you pain
You keep the dream in sight
There is something to be said for everyone
That has suffered small or great
For in the end, when death draws near,
You will know you’ve accomplished your fate
-Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed. ---Joseph Addison
