Another Day to Witness

Love twisted to Hate

Hate transformed to Love

I admit, I am a fool

I learn, but nary a subject I understand

I breathe, I live

As dead cells flake from my skin

Like ash from a fire

Still I hold out

Hope hammered into my Soul

Pounding against my temperament

As Pain becomes the nail to hold me upright

Strength is the steel in my spine

That transforms naivety to cautiousness

I live to die

Yet, against my nature

Still, I stand
