Live by example.
How can I thrive when knowing there are infectious diseases among me?
My moral compass leads the way and I get through these tangled vines.
Small cuts and bruises, I do not go without.
Despite all this, I continue because I know what's awaiting me.
The truth, is what I stand by, and the universe paves my life.
This interrogating scene is only a stepping stone in who I will become.
"Stay true to yourself and others." I hear as take another cut to the face.
"These wounds are merely a test of your strength." I hear, another jest.
"What lies ahead is the consequence of truth." Another voice rings in my head.
"Be weary,
Be a fortress for the self
And for others who watch you fight on."
