Waking up hostile
keeps my mind
reasonable clear
A reason for existence
When there is nothing left
of all that I once held dear
Righteous indignation
constant as a plague
Brutal vicious sense
of vengeance that
is overwhelming
over me
Arising to do battle
Awakening in force
Confronting all that tells me
to forget it and just go on
I do walk on
Mile after mile
Listening to the thoughts
coursing through my mind
Surely I know
I am then
tasked and able
to recover what
then was mine
And once again
will be my own
Surely I walk on.

Waking up hostile
keeps my mind
reasonable clear
A reason for existence
When there is nothing left
of all that I once held dear
Righteous indignation
constant as a plague
Brutal vicious sense
of vengeance that

Arising to do battle
Awakening in force
Confronting all that tells me
to forget it and just go on
I do walk on
Mile after mile
Listening to the thoughts
coursing through my mind
Surely I know
I am then
tasked and able
to recover what
then was mine
And once again
will be my own
Surely I walk on.
