We promise
Swollen eyes bloodshot and sore
How can we tolerate the hurt anymore?
Broken humans breaking sunny spirits
Pushing our existence to its outright limits
Confused minds rapidly become hazy
Swirling emotions send us exigently crazy
Tears cease to roll down our cheeks
Nightmares fill with hollow shrieks
Awakening with the deepest of despair
Viewing our world with an insightful glare
Inner strength rushes through our veins
Our aching heart breaks laden chains
Remembering that it is a new day
We promise ourselves not to fade away.
