The beginning of survival
might be the end of
the road
I wonder if it might be
that point where
the weight of the load
becomes extraordinarily heavy
and we realise at last
that heroics notwithstanding
we are better off shedding the past
Which has dragged us underground
made it difficult to breathe
and despite the bright future
we have struggled to leave
but now looking forward
with integrity and grace
we can walk somewhat differently
and vary the pace
so we’re no longer imprisoned
but freedom has arrived
and our plans are hope-filled
cause we know we’ve survived
