Dare to Hope

In the shadow of death

I abate my breath

Bereft of a dream

Dread reigns supreme

Trudge through the vale

Never scale the summit

No chance here to fail

Nor reason to plummet

Climb again

You do implore

Drown in my sin

I won’t fight this war

Now something wells up

From deep within

It is my choice

Resolve’s wearing thin

Imprisoned by my will

I grasp the key

Relinquish this fear

I’ll set myself free

Ascension’s the task

I won’t hide with a mask

The pain of the same

Shed light on the shame

Departing from

The basement of my mind

Visions and pursuits

No longer I’ll bind

All shall perish

This much is true

Not all feel alive

‘Til we see hope through
