Down and out? Maybe this will help...
I wrote this a few weeks ago when I was feeling particularly bad. I've read a few posts here and realized that there are others who are hanging onto their last knot and swinging. I hope this will help encourage them to get up and try one more time.
A WARRIOR RISES UP
A WARRIOR RISES UP
Heartbreak has a certain sound like ice cracking on a river
and crushes hope until you are no longer a believer.
What was your joy is now your jail; its absence bars of steel.
And all that’s left is no parole; no warden who’ll make a deal.
But a warrior rises up and blesses the new day.
Dying dreams have certain screams that echo to the marrow.
Shattered skies bruises eyes and rain down bleak tomorrows.
What was to be disappears like a ghost in haunted castles.
All that’s left is cold and damp and scars from your lost battles.
But a warrior rises up and blesses the new day.
A warrior rises up. A warrior rises up.
