Prevail

I find comfort in the silence
it knows me better than all
but I find it ironic
that it's a constant brawl
I sit and wait for your appearance
maybe some time in my dreams
At the same time, fear consumes me-
I'm not as okay as I seem
My thoughts haunt me on the daily
are we all just born to die
I sit and contemplate this truth
yelling in my mind, why?!
We'll never know why this happened
It's a new darkness unveiled
each day we'll live for you
and through us- you'll prevail
