Scraping against the grain
March 29, 2009
Scraping against the grain
I breathe my way, never in shame
A beacon of all things certain
The picture without a frame
Fighting the currents pulling me under
A struggle to take heed
Within a sea of empty futures I plunder
When will I succeed?
The uneven ground I stand on
He grasps with a mighty grace
Green eyes of vigor withdrawn
A fortitude I will trace
One voice in a crowd, an aim to be heard
Refusing the acceptance of a future deferred.
