Literature Text

Who would you be without your suffering?

Would you wear your scars like a crown?

Could you forget the fears around hovering?

Can you forgive yourself, or will you drown?

 

Are you but a meager vessel broken?

Are you already six feet in the ground?

Has the darkness its doubts been spoken?

Is it that by despair you’ve been found?

 

No, you are the strength which endures

You are the storied, a victor of fate

You shrug all yesterday’s myriad lures

You love others as yourself, cleansing hate

 

They took the wind from your billowed sails

They striped you with whips of leather and tongue

They accosted you with the worst of this world’s hells

They tied your noose; from the tree you were hung

 

But you are stronger than the tide

Your soul shines while flesh rends

For you are immortal inside

Your power, hope to us it lends

I was trying to write a song, and this happened.
