Don't doubt my courage, oh life
I knit my dreams with the tattered edges of strife
Brandishing the edges of vulnerability
As I move along infallibly.
With measured steps I walk ahead
Ignoring the cuts of the thorns and pebbles spread
Pain is just another random emotion felt
When we've detached from ourselves.
You bestowed the lamp on me
Not knowing I've left the moon behind
My silence pricks inside
Asking me for loyalty I can't abide.
Wish you could see
How you've turned me
Snapping on the heels of chills
Refusing to accept defeat.
Trust's ripped from its roots
As I walk barefoot into the woods
Of sorrow, of pain and a lot of intellectual gain
Success paves its own way.
