My Backbone

My antidote to the venom
My smile behind the pain
My hope beyond despair
A Family beyond compare

Cliff they’ll climb for me to bliss
Never tired and never failed
But ‘cause of my stone head
Their heart reached by Blade 

Lessons learned I nailed in my head
To close the wound I have created
To draw back smile that I’ve erased
And to utopia I’ll be the seed and head
