I'm so tired of sleep

without dreams.

But dreams don't suffice

when reality feels broken.

Even

as right

as it seems,

There are still more truths to be spoken.

The lies we tell ourselves

When the truth is staring us in the face

When action taken scares us

And makes us completely halt the pace.

I fell hard

Harder than I thought I could

I can't go back to what was before

I've burned the bridge that path was built on

I don't know what the future has in store

But living true is better than the ashes I rise from

The truths, once spoken

Are just as true now

I've never wanted anything more than this.

A promise, unfaltering.
