Another mile on an empty road
Desolation has taken hold
I could succumb and become numb
And watch my dream perish as they come undone
Embrace the cycle
Struggle to triumph I repress
Stare down affliction
Opportunity to progress
Thoughts collide
Here I stand at the threshold of suppression
Torment resides
Have I the will to withstand the oppression
Trial and error
Missteps and Failures
Seared with scars
And searching for a savior
Perseverance
Refusing to fall
F*ck off, naysayer
I refuse to live my life looking over my shoulder
As if something sinister lurks behind every corner
Would you rather die a martyr or live as a mourner
Embrace the cycle
Struggle to triumph I repress
Stare down affliction
Opportunity to progress
