_ as a weapon
when the world is against you
and it is getting harder to keep going,
wear your kind heart like an armour
when you have to bite the bullet,
skin tense and covered in bruises,
do not clench your jaw at every soft word
when darkness closes in and it seems
that sorrowful is all that you will ever be
use what it is left of hope as a weapon
be soft and brave, heart open and mind righteous still;
shake off the weight of fear to reveal the goodness within
