Persevere.

Pretend you're happy, pretend you're swell.
That the world is bright, that all is well.

The sun shines bright, the moon lies low
That your lamps burn dim, with a gentle glow.

The soft night turns, twists, and sways.
And in your head, beautiful dreams are played.

But when you wake, you know what is true.
You know the world simply didn't pay you it's due.

That what you've earned has not been fulfilled.
That the dreams you have had have not seen their fill.

And thought the darkness might ensue, you battle it back.
You won't let despair swallow your tracks.

But you've been walking this road for so long, how do you know your goal is near?
...And you whispered softly, "Please. Persevere."

So I did and I tried.
I failed and I cried.

And so I came back, "The good is gone. Only darkness lies here!"
...And you whispered softly, "Please. Persevere."

And once more I tried.
Failed, and almost died.

And so I came back, "Please, instruct me. Your words are unclear!"
...And you whispered softly, "Please. Persevere."

And I will, I promise. Again and again.
I'll craft masterpieces with this pen.

And thought I may be a hollow husk of a human being.
I won't let the past control self-esteem.

Because when I'm beaten, and rejected. Derailed, or neglected. Denied, or disrespected.
I promise to you, my dear. I will, forever, persevere.

*cries* that was beautiful
