"We are here, we are different, and we are everlasting." -Brian Dales
"Be your own hero."


The night is quiet but the house is loud
No man or beast should ever be proud
Of the monstrous messes they have made
Why are you so afraid, Adelaide?

She raises her voice but still is not heard
Wishes she could leave without a word
But in her heart, the debt has not been paid
Please don't be afraid, Adelaide

The love they share helps her grow
Only September will ever know
Who knelt down beside her and gave her aid
We understand why you're afraid, Adelaide

She stands on her own, proud and strong
The demons can't hold on for too long
Troubles will rest, in the ground they'll be laid
So you don't have to be afraid, Adelaide


The author's comments:
A close friend of mine-- one who faces endless struggles with her family and her confidence-- silently inspired me to write this. She is forever strong and will forever inspire us to keep pushing forward against the odds.
(To Schwermels, thank you.)
