A Will To Live

A Will To Live Pardon me for being so blunt We sleep in modest comfort from Shattered dreams the price of evil schemes Shape through the many colors that form from within Out of sadness the mere madness to what we left behind A strong soldier in the battle field outside We run from the storm every reason to hide To hide behind the false hidden garb of compromise A will to live the given chance to forgive The healing process to learn another bridge to burn A hero's welcome behind the enemy's lines Rejoice in the praise that comes from above To cherish a red rose that was plucked a time before In mere solace we slowly engage in a parting kiss The love that was embraced toward a heavenly wish Beauty marked on a dot of a blotted page The social injustices are all the rage Today were all blinded as a mouse is stuck in it's cage Shelter lies dormant amidst it's beckoning plough A challenge to be free is a question of time To learn more from what's love got to do Perhaps Iv'e bitten off far more then I could chew A will to live in darkened portals of the mind Shine the light on mental illness & the blind We each need deliverence from the evil outside In a decorated vase shaped in colors on it's side
