Don't let the hardships

Harden your heart, you say.

I wish I had that power

That control, my friend.

I believe its beyond me,

To know how my being will react and adapt

To the hurts and falls before me.

All in order to survive,

All in order to live.

It's a blessing really,

That at least I have the will to bear,

The will to push until I reach up there.

I can't be worrying and complaining

How my heart has calcified,

How my mind is scarred,

How my trust is buried,

And my victory is forgotten.

I have to get up

And fight the day,

Fight the world, fight myself.

I have to lay down,

Embrace the night,

Love the world, love myself.

Yes, my heart is of stone,

Yet it isn't impossible to leave a mark on it.

You just have to be sincere,

Or perhaps cruel enough.
