Like The Sun, We Will Rise (And Bring The light Back Home)

*

oh darling, can’t you see all that worth and strength in your body?

you are so much more...if only, you could see

that gorgeous, beautiful hope and brightness you hold even when you are so low in the dark

that glint of defiance and determination you keep even at your lowest

how you get up & try again and again

despite your failures and exhaustion

as you laugh in the face of destiny and tell me because someone has to

because someone has gotta save this damned world

no, darling, no I think you got it all wrong

no one could except you

you, who stepped up, despite and choose to save it

a hero.
