When Your Back Is Against the Wall

Lost in a maelstrom,

floundering in a sea of rage,

heaven’s black as hell is red,

no road to find,

no escape awaiting you,

no hope in sight

and caring is useless.

remember one thing—your life.

Your life is your hope.

Fight against the raging sea,

swim, kick your way to shore,

look to the shoreline,

the road is there,

keep fighting to get there,

never give in to the voices,

never give up you will find hope,

for heaven will break into a glimmer of light,

and hell cannot touch the soul

that still believes hope is alive … somewhere.
