Blankets were supposed to give solace
as well as a warm embrace.
Sleep has been our constant escape
from such uncommon names we have to face.
Life offers so much uncertainties.
We're never taught about hiding from these.
Well, perhaps we have nothing to resist,
and let ourselves learn until we finally succeed.
When things haven't been what we're used to,
there's only one thing we could do—let go;
bravely accept the uncommon names
we'd also need to unleash
for our tomorrow's better change.
