Fighting or falling
Disappointment weighs on my shoulders
I’ve fought and I’ve failed
I’ve watched my tears erode these walls
Cave in on my chance to be laid to rest
Each day digging a new grave
Every year of my life a pointless hole in the ground
I've fallen so far from where I began
My ground has proved to be sinking sand
And I’ve fallen so far from where I began
I am a perpetual wreck
Climbing out of this valley carved by my own stubborn will
I will never reach the top alone
Every move a misstep
And I can’t bear this weight on my back
Depressed and compressed
Grasping from something to fix my mess.
You’re my only hope for another breath.
Only hope.
You've showed me strength through suffering.
Taught through my disbelief.
All of you; none of me.
Without grace I am nothing.
