Withstanding

How did I become so brave?
Can I build any more resilience?

     Who am I kidding?

Behind every crook is a coward.
Such a fool to think I'm any different. 

Such a fool to think I'm any less.

Such a fool to think I can't change. 

Wake up, brain! 

Sustain, refrain, secure, and endure.
Reject, affect, and remember what you're living for

I hate to have to beg, but I want more.

Because remember, I swore

Please believe me, we'll soar.
This is not a battle to ignore.
