You wanna know?!

 You want to know what strength is?

Get up despite what others think

Push through regardless of the risk

Stand tall when no one cares, no one gives

A shit, a sliver, modicum of love, respect 

You rise despite abandonment 

Despite regret 


You want to talk about trust?

Extend your hand without fear

Onto the judgement, faces shocked, aghast

Embrace anxiety, and let the others steer

Your hopes into the darkness, while you grasp

Each outstretched and asking hand, While your time draws so near


You want to sing about faith?

Try setting fire to your soul

Try burning every dream and hope

And then with fingers dark and foul 

And burns from never ending rope

On the concrete of bottomless despair

Inch by inch to daylight always crawl

Believing in the happy end for life beyond repair 


You want to still believe in love?

Embrace the truth in the above

Pick up the strength, the trust and faith

Collapse your judgment, break the hate

Drop shields and walls that circumspect your mind

Burn down every second, shine the light

Onto the path of someone else

And stay by their side till life ends.
