Dawn & Dusk

I won’t give in
No matter how long the fight
I have tasted hope
Of it caught sight

I have seen the mountain top
Where freedom flourishes
I have seen the oasis
Which with joy nourishes

I have been battered and bruised
Beat up and scarred
Been mocked and teased
Had my flesh torn apart

This battle has cost me
Left me wounds so deep
Loaded me with memories
That I don’t want to keep

But these little glimpses
Of the greater I have seen
Stick in my memory
I can see the scene

So, strap yourself in
Prepare for the ride
This war has just started
I won’t stop until depression dies
