strive

By X_LUCY_INNES_X •
do the daring, effortless act
you swore to do when young
with so much passion you fought the fight
you said that was due to you
i have no evidence of ever been their
but memories are never correct
seeing you with a fearless face
a raging compassion to strive
i am no longer involved in this tale
i would sooner run and hide
