They’ve taken what they took.
You have what’s left,
And best yet,
You’ve got what you haven’t made yet
The rest of your life
All you can create
That. They can never take–
You’ve got the thump in your chest
Light in your eyes
Use what they can’t
Write what they won’t
You will be free
You will surpass
The pits of hell
They threw you into
You will climb out of the dirt
Keep on walking
Keep on writing
Keep what’s left of you.
Mold it into something whole.
