Against the Odds

Tears stream down like rain

In the depths of the night

Hope is diminishing

trapped in a decaying planet

Dreams broke apart like glass

Trials of life will never end

Inside, there is tremendous pain

No place to hide that is secure

But amidst the sadness

A ray of optimism for tomorrow

Below the bruise-causing cares

The ability to start over

Young heart lights a fire

During the longest, darkest night

is brave enough to attempt

standing and flying high

So permit the heart to soar

To the might of the brilliant tomorrow

Decrease your discomfort and fear

to a life worth living right here
