For you
I walk abandoned paths
Hoping to
Bring refreshments
You thirst
Hunger for belief
Regarding worth
I come
To break your affair with being numb
Behold
You’re in a chokehold
Swearing all is well
Darkened lights
You sigh unable to tell
And I’ve come
To slap you awake
However necessary
Get you to move
Anything instead of surrender
Rise.
