Perseverance


I am an echo bound up in a shell of pride. Driven by a faith born of fear, hiding from Heaven, running from Hell. I am weak to have thought myself strong when I built my walls and cowered behind them. Yet I go on, for no reason I have decided to, and that is enough. If nothing else, I will never concede defeat. Even if my flaws are my only strength.
