Yes, I got the message

But I was not the only one  

A harbinger of destruction

For all of you and me.   

Cut off the switches

And get out of Dodge

Because this ratchet

Only works in one direction

And it’s never worked before. 

It’s time to push back

And break the gears apart

Because the truth is like a hammer

Smashing every lie. 

You can get up and pretend

Or you can just roll over

And sleep

But either way

It won’t change a thing. 

Whatever we do

It always wears off

The newness fades

And our attention wanders. 

The heart eventually gives out

From all of the strain

No matter what we try

Or what we take. 

Programed to fail

For the horror of it all

We surge forward

But always fall back.

We are just wasting our time

Treading water

Upside down in a tank

Bumping up against the glass

Over and over again.

The struggle can seem hopeless

And defeat inevitable

But even small numbers

Have proved that false

Time and time again.

They can come at you

With everything they have

But he who stands firm

Shall have the greatest gift. 

Water flows down hill

And the earth rots all flesh

But the spirit can do the impossible

Through faith and tenacity.

I burn

And I suffer

But I remain unbroken

Strong enough to move mountains

With words.

Something has happened to me

At first almost imperceptible

But growing every day

As one cell at a time

Awakens.

We are all here for a reason

And I was made for this

Knit together in darkness

And forever linked to you.

Nothing can stop us

Except maybe ourselves

With nothing to fear

But dread and regret.
