No soul on this earth
Is owed the whole of your mind
Every newly claimed moment of life

Your power ensnares
And swells the beloved
As you grovel and writhe
And you give
To encourage their pride

No soul is worthy
Of your arsenal of rage
Of your long trails of sorrow
That bend through the years

Live on and dream
And breathe for yourself
Press on and prevail
And ascend to your prime
