Minute after minute,
Time upon time…
Past loses weigh on my mind,
My only salvation is this pen on this line…
Raised to be strong,
To show not a fear…
Bury the pain,
Shed not a tear…
The soul aches with the burden,
My mind cries out for release…
But my face remains stoic,
The lips not a crease…
My only salvation,
This ink and this verse
