When all’s been given there is to give
But sleep eludes you none the less
And you’re questioning your will to live
As we’ve all done I must confess
Hold strong and hold fast
And be thee shaken not
This question, unasked
Should not be forgot
Is all that I’ll be
And all that I am
Be enough for me
To even give a damn
About hateful thoughtless words
So freely and carelessly spoken
No matter how absurd
Still could have left me heartbroken
But with truth in my heart
I will wipe the slate clean
And emerge from the muck
With my character pristine
