I play tribute to you today
To your immense faith
Your capacity to maintain poise
As you plow your way through the desert

I sing a song to you
you inspire in me a sense of unabashed freedom
Of younger days
your will and mine always in sync
We are driven by the meager morsels of sanity left within us
Which roam just beneath the surface of our skin
As it forms and shapes who we are
We have little to give the outside world as it
Has taken much
Yet we forge forward in the darkness
In the full knowledge that we are broken

We take our pieces and lay them out
Like trophies, like emblems
Sharing in our sadness, in our present state,
Yet laughing at the world around us
Which remains clueless, and uncaring

I applaud you my hero, my gallant dark avenger
Where shall we go next? Let's don our capes
And masks, letting ourselves flow aimlessly amidst
The crowd of indifference that hovers around us,
The eyes that seldom see, the arms that never reach out
To us.
