The only reward you get for your resilience
Is more tests of your mettle
Everyone you care about will lean on you
Because you can take it
Can't you?
You are bleeding out
Every deed done
Another cut
More blood spilled
You can save everyone
Except for yourself
It's a fitting death
Drowning in a pool of your own blood
Every loved one is another blade
Stained in crimson

They say I'm inspiring
Because I'm strong
But what did I do that was so strong
Other than take another breath
In my hardest moments
By that metric we're all surrounded by giants
Walking monuments, a testimonial that we saw our worst days and made it out the other side
