my tears shall water the earth
and from my misery, let hope bloom
i do not find myself to be envious of those who remain numb to the pain of the world
for to be cavalier is to live a shallow life
it is my conviction in my beliefs that guides me
a sort of dogged pursuit of adherence to a set of principles that, to me, could not be clearer
no matter the agony, we must continue on
no matter the hopelessness, we must believe that we have the ability to implement change
no matter what, we must not remain numb
my nights will continue to be tortured
and my mornings, perhaps a bit dimmer than most,
but that is the life i have chosen long ago
and i intend to walk this path so long as my body, and my spirit, allow
