Right now you can’t see the end

Stoic in the midst of turmoil

Resigned to shrink away

Content to retreat

Content to hide in your safe place



Protest the loss

And mourn the casualties

Look at the wreckage

And understand what it means



When the walls collapse

Your will to fight has been surpassed

You’re on your knees again

Sift through the layers

The shattered remains of your broken dreams

The life you once longed for



Face up to devastation

Ignore the urge to hide

Seek revelation

Inspired in all the anguish



Recount the cost

Knowledge through suffering

No easy lessons

Are learned when you cross the valley



Draw out a hard line

A marker that shows the way

And through this draw out a hard line

A future that can’t be seen from where you are
