You were born to dream,
To love, to breathe.
You were given life
To fight defeat.
You were chosen
By God
To take a stand.
You were given breath
To grow into a man.
You were not made worthless,
Used, or abused.
You weren’t made to fall
By hands left so bruised.
Broken your faith,
Bruised is your heart.
But strength must remain,
Because you’ve made it this far.
Dream hard enough and your dreams
Will come true.
Fight long enough
And God
Will come through.
DISCARD THE HOSE.
TURN OFF THE EXHAUST.
Open the door, go for a walk.
Don’t end it now,
you’re still a young man.
Breathe It All Out,
Let Your Lungs Expand.
