I stood with truth
for the longest time
even though it pains me
even when it takes
everything in me
I stood with truth
so long I've forgotten
how to be free

I lived with regret
in the deepest place
even though it drags me down
even when it chokes
the air out of my lungs
I lived with regret
so long I've let go
of the rungs

I stayed with fire
with the slowest pace
even though it burns me
even when it tears
my skin from my bones
I stayed with fire
so long I've watched it
devour all in my home

Though the haze
and past the mighty glaze
I stood, lived, stayed
with the things that hurt me
thinking it would let me
have peace even in
the long nights ahead

But did I?
Is rest in my hands
as of this moment?
Perhaps
Until then

I will lay with death
through the hardest dance
even though it erases me
even when it obscures
hope from where it bled
I will lay with death
for as long as necessary
until I see my worth
or until I reach the end
