You fight until you don’t
In a gnarly struggle of swinging fists
Prophetic black and blue

You blame until you don’t
Endurance soothes a mind disturbed
Framing an unfolded masterpiece

They laugh until they don’t
Glares sweetly coated in candor
Small testaments to your power

You fall until you don’t
Standing shoots you straight to the moon
In the midst of stardust and composure

You cry until you don’t
Tears that decorate the galaxies around you
Scrapes simply fall into orbit

You suffocate until you don’t
Liberation seems like an old friend
A beauty you idolized in secret

You write it down until you don’t
The pen is taken from your hand
Leaving spiral-bound notebooks in the dust

You’re there until you’re not
An absence weighing heavy in your place
Legacies of the strength to overcome
You care until you don’t
