The study-skill of coping
A scholar learns, and teaches
Vices of distraction, dissension
Stressed in silence and speeches
We are in this together
Or so we've all been taught
We stand united in struggle
But fall separate in thought.
We each carry hidden loads
Pains and pasts of our own
We may be followed by darkness
But in the dark, not alone.
We all march on, in struggle and stride
Through tides that pull to drown
For hope that together we reach a high
Before we all break down.
