What is quality of life Without substance ? Why break your chains And flee your cage To keep on rotting beside Monsters of a different kind They're scraping out What soft parts I've got left And I'm aware My sense is leaving me Feel it pulling away Like a string tangled up in both ribs Why be that courageous By taking that step Just to rescind back into hiding I built up barracks, Turned off tears, And carried my armor On my hip every second Of every day I won't even attempt To listen To my own advice If you were to ask me How I think one should act I'd preach how vital It is to be raw and vulnerable Because it is beautiful thing I admit it I'm a cliche' Who uses complacency as a shield Instead of becoming the hero She wants to be The one who gos all in,   no protection, no hesitation, But all passion, And all chest I know that my power Is most likely stuck Under a pile Of child-like character defects I think I'm finally ready To dig through my mess Keep on Searching the Earth For assets I could use To better my human Do not forget, That you should Always be watching for the knowledge That unlocks life's secrets Remember that time I escaped an inferno? Covered in blisters and burns ...It was unnerving Eternal pain That day I learned Each seconds is pertinent If I comply like a blind sheep I'll miss the miracle Happen that's in front of me Im refusing To be A cog That wants To be caught In the machine
