D

Listen to all the people
Look at where they stare
Speaking out against the night
Not even knowing what is the fight

What do you do when you stand there
Deaf, blind, mute, and in despair?
Do you join the fight against night?
Or do you join night in the fight?

They say acceptance is the only answer
It is not your fault, you can't fight cancer
They laugh at you, and tell you what you can't do
When for they themselves are the only ones this rings true

The ones that motivate you to not fail
But with every last ounce of you prevail
To not succumb to the ruins of life
But to instead shape your meaning of it with a putty knife

Listen to yourself.
Look at were you stare.
Speak out against the fight.
And find out what is in the night.
