Go on Life,

Suffocate my dreams

Bring on adversity

Burst my seams

Squeeze tighter

Step on my soul

Leave me broken

Out of control

And, then watch,

With bewildered eyes

Confidence increase

As I begin to rise

For hope is innate,

In each, every breath,

Extinguished

Only by death

Touch my chest

Feel my heart beat

Hear its rhythm

Admit defeat
