Rising up to Be Unbreakable

 

Rising up to Be Unbreakable

            Struck down

            By lightning

            Washed up ashore

            Lay in exhaustion

 

            All around

            Wrecked, stranded, forgotten

            The world turned

            Away it gave

 

            Nothing but pain

            Remorse

            Shunned you are

            But strong

 

            You take back

            What can stack

            Wood of hope

            Fire for light

 

            Endless nights

            You prevail

            Unlike those before

            Who lay waste

 

            Corroded into sand

            So all else

            Has become

            So you live

 

            Rising up to be unbreakable
