a knowing whisper came to me
to speak to me on fear
I stood alone, unblinking, im still here,
when I questioned pain, and my resolve
I learned its name, and kept the scars
one day, the world fell on me
and I was unaware
of how to quit, I tasted grit
and strained while standing there.
my knees were trembling, I kept on
my eyes were bloodshot, im now strong
I one time knew love, but it has gone away.
I one time felt alive, that has given way
I think and hope that harmony can grow,
or once again, ill be alone to row
