Though those who can are many
Those who do are few...
The difference if any
Is the desire to?

every second feels like an hour
and every hour feels like a minute
every life I live is temporary
but temporary feels infinite

Beauty as the burden burned,
beauty broken finch.
Beauty as the one eyed world,
her beauty as defeat.

Her brow be ****** bleached in broken
bereave brief ‘boldened by bleak bonnet
now tossed unto the ground.
Never wretched young hopeful, angel by grace.
Witching run by chosen one, a blessing and a race.

The imperium titan dominion o’er all,
she standing ***** and tall speak ever of fall.
A worry wormed wicked way up wisdom’s womb,
yet still courage when witnessed begs wonder and swoons.
She's epic and glowing and ever in bloom.

Beauty as the burden spurned,
beauty spared from lynch.
Beauty as the sun dyed world,
Her beauty is concrete.

Everyone has a dream they wish to come true,
And I'm sure there's nothing they wouldn't do,
Whether to gain money or to become a superstar
Whatever the case it doesn't matter how far.

For if their desire is truly that strong,
For that goal they will continue on and on,
This fact is something that none can refute
Even if the reasoning they can not possibly compute.

And so such is the case for me,
And now I will tell you all this honestly,
Though I do not have much to offer anyone
That does not mean I'm going to run.

I want to make differences if I can
so much more than anyone could try to comprehend,
I want to try even if I fail
Right now there isn't a path I wouldn't scale.

But what's the desire I wish to fulfill?
What was in my mind that did instill?
To save lives in a way open to me,
A live ***** donor-is what I'll be!

I walk into war so brave,
Found my confidence,
My guide.
For when you walk in the room so worried,
When you leave you find your pride.

Head held higher than an eagle,
Yet lower than a rock.
When you feel yourself so timid,
Time’s running around the clock.

Took a long, good look at myself,
Found measures beyond length,
Looked even deeper into myself,
Found a large amount of strength.

Hope,
Faith.

The eternal dance of blindness and determination.
We seek that which we do not know,
We ignore that which we hope we don't.

Step helplessly into the dark.
Step Endlessly into the stars.

Here we are.
There we will be.
We are who we are.
And who we will become.
