Endure

 

Life feels like it’s about to end when tragedy strikes

The world around you falls to pieces as you fall down

No one looks at you when you cry for help

But once you do something wrong, you become a clown

 

Everyone that didn’t before suddenly notices you

And there is no escaping, no hiding from those eyes

The eyes of hatred and cruelty that taunt you

And all everyone notices is every little fault and lie

 

One thing we all have in common is a single word

The word everyone repeats to you, which must be true

They all shout and scream it in your face, around the world

One single word that must hold all the answers~ Endure

 

Endure to the end and all will be well, they insist

Endure to the end and you will have survived, they say

But what if we don’t want to endure everyday>

What if there is that one day where we just want to fall?

 

There comes a day when all we want to do is give up

We don’t want to keep climbing against the avalanche

The avalanche of words and actions that caused us to fall in the first place

Words and actions that caused us to fall and hit each branch

 

The end. The two words that we so desperately want to hear

Two words that will end our horror story of a life

In the end we will look at our reflections in the mirror

And the one word that will describe us? Endured.
