Fight
If you are trapped in a jar
that hides you from the light
does that mean you are nothing,
If you have restraints
and can never move
does that mean
you should never try,
The things that make you
real
are the restraints
that you're not afraid to
pull and struggle at
just for a taste of
freedom
and to feel all your bones
break and be healed
just to break them again.
to fight a fight
that many have lost all hope in
and when there's nothing
left to fight for
just the cause that so many
believe in
These things that make you
you
are they the ones that keep
us up or are they the ones
that bring us
closer and closer
to the ground
The people who
bang, punch, and struggle
to get free
are they the ones who are
real
or are we all meant to
stay in the dark
The ones who are free
the ones who have
shattered their jars
they have endured
much more than
we will ever know
but they are the ones
who have the most scars
with the most pain
and have the darkest pasts
but they have succeeded
in one thing that we can’t
they have reached the
LIGHT
