I will honor you
as the day the sun went away
and the dark clouds rolled in
obscuring my way
and I had no say
I will honor you
as the day lightning struck my core
thunder carried on... and on
giving me nothing to live for…
I will honor you
as a lesson I learned
when I allowed others to burn
everything I worked to earn
it painted my face
a certain color of disgrace
and I never asked myself
if it was deserved
I will honor you
as a memorial held for moving forward
to better things that carry me onward
There felt to be no other way
all I could see was the heartache
and I did not care to stay
Hopelessness is heavy
when it is strung around your neck like pearls
it can choke you until you can't breathe,
whisper damaging things you readily believe,
and take away everything
everything
I will honor you for the day
it did not take me
les'nspired
