People say to be strong
but never say or mention
where to absorb strength from
is it strength that risk of the hole
over a lack of vegetables
or reckless rebellion
maybe its principle
facing our fears & embracing our weaknesses
maybe our greatest triumph
or fuckup
stand yer ground, feel it quake
arms so brittle, legs so weak
struggle to recall the point of this
still willing to go for whatever the point is
forgotten what home smelt like
vividly recall what choking on fumes felt like
nothing is ever black and white
options are always more than
just walk away or fight
