throught the years since i was a teen
a battle has been raging on within
no matter the price, no matter the struggle
it will never end until my own end comes
but this battle is something that i much continue
for it is part of who i am you see
each day that passes i get stronger
even through the losses that i received
even through the pains that i have felt
i know that i much continue on.
for i have seen death stare at me
i have felt his hold on my heart,
i have seen my own end before,
blood coursing out a wound
but... i can't let it happen
i won't lose to my own weakness,
nor to the pressure of the others
for this world will push on you
place obstacles that you never knew exsisted
right there in front of you
hoping that you will fall.
it is hard to not fall,
we as humans tear at each other
which leads to falls you see
but the hardest part here,
is while taking on this challenge
when you face your enemies head on
you must not lose that which is precious
that which makes you human
for if you lose that piece of you.
you will lose if you don't get it back
because even if we tear at each other.
if you lose our essense, our soul
we can't learn to help,
to hold each other close
as we build ourselves from our ashes.
we must learn to do this.
or we as mankind will burn
and return to the dust we came from.
