Here I am World

Eat me alive and spit me back out

I'll gather my pieces and be ready to do it again tomorrow

Crush my bones to dust and I'll fight with my heart

Squeeze the blood from my body and I'll breathe with my soul

Here I am World

Living free

Offering joy

Valuing everything

Even yourself

Experiencing all

Vindicating the weak

Elevating the low

Risking your heart

Yielding your hate

Opening your eyes

Never letting go

Expecting the great

What is this pain?

Why is it so strong?

It's not my normal daily pain...

It's odly worse though it doesn't hurt.

Is this... lonelyness?

Depression?

I don't understand!!

I'm feeling blue

And can't tell if I'm being used.

Is that what makes me sad?

There's a pit in my stomach.

I should be happy.

Everyone else seems so happy.

What's wrong with me?

All of them are dead,

Even the brightest has fallen,

Imagine their colors,

Over and gone,

Unique leaves we bid you farewell!

My fire still burns,

Don't let those cooling embers fool you.

That heart of flame still remains.

Prepare yourself.
