I remember being proud of every granule of dirt Raw beaten earth, I built my temple out of. Every water molecule in my crimson blood Carefully selected to carry an essence That I protected, with the support of glass bones Wrapped in healing wounds, Putting everything I have into Forgetting how to flinch Regardless of the brutality life Tries to dress me in, Or smother me with . Work through psychological damages Practice away my st stu stutter, putting away broken syllables un uttered. I will rise, you can not keep me tonight I hunger to fight, Walk right up to the dark like I never new the way it turns you into nothing If you think im crazy, Maybe your right but im reminding you of something, something that you tell yourself can't exist something you let go of , something that you miss. A sort of irrationality that's still making perfect sense, plays in your morality defies your common sense. This is the only chance I have at persisting to laugh And I Will persist. The only way for me to stay bright The only way to keep light in my dimming eyes Is to shine and let them see . Something about existing, and persisting In vulnerability is more than frightening It is freeing. I AM, as surly as I am being, I’m lifted, I’ve missed this. I hope you catch the meaning The thought of missing it Leaves me feeling guilty Like my will was straying, praying to nothing For things I had but wasn’t seeing. I forgot to believe That I was impossible and that i'm breathing.
