Falter not,
My heart,
For you,
Being of relatively sound mind,
Cannot.
You will persevere through your troubles,
Even when YOU don't believe so.
Though,
Fear stricken,
And terror filled,
YOU will not be broken.
Stronger than rock,
Cleverer than the snake,
Your mind will see,
Your eyes will think,
Your ears will talk,
And you lips will listen.
Falter not,
My angel,
My demon,
My clever snake,
Fangs ready,
Falter not.
