"Last Stand Taken"

 

Every tomorrow...

Becomes today...

And passes into yesterday...

Tested is the will of conviction

The truth within what is right shall be believed

It was not this very second that it broke...

Tiny pieces fell daily...

Until all was incomplete...

Vision in choice blur...

Emotions struggle...

Circles draw shapes of confusion

Instead of lines leading in a direction clear

There is no return once you yield

Footsteps linger...

Through each process is a realization

Words and actions are sorted

What is the worth of effort?

How much of an emotional debt do you wish to owe?

Moments lead through time...

To this choice before the mind

That there comes a point reached

When too much understanding given

Begins to overlook the disrespect received...

With the heaviest of hearts

The weight becomes too much to bare

A bittersweet release comes...

As tears sweep through the only thing known

That our state of being is not a forfeit...

And mental health is not worth the abandonment

Offering us this last stand taken

To surrender nothing always...
