The chains of darkness are dragging me down
I feel the strength to fight
However, I know that I cannot do such, alone.
I scream out and try not to blame myself...
Wearing the frown of a clown.
I have been fighting this illness for what seems like ions
I sometimes look too far forward
Comparing myself to my favorite icons.
I sometimes fear the unknown...
I sometimes avoid the unknown...
How can I have any more experiences if I have none of them to have grown?
I need to experience what makes me feel uncomfortable
I must find someone to share such experiences
Rather than to go it alone
Such teamwork such benefit us both
As doing things together
Shall strengthen our bones.
The chains that shackle us to the fear
shall break away
Freedom shall reign
As we share, together, the taste of freedom's wine
In broader numbers who added to our team
A brighter and more successful day.
