A Life to Have

What do we tell ourselves.
As our world crumbles.
It crumbles around our feet.
As it crashes and burns.

How do we live in this.
This place that doesn't exist.
A people no longer real.
Make belief in this made up book.

Who do we turn to.
Who is there to trust.
How do we steady our feet.
On the rubble and debris.

It falls around us like ash.
How do you piece together.
The shards are too small.
For life you no longer have.

How do we turn back time.
What switch do we flip.
Among so many choices.
Somewhere we got lost.

Where's the door.
The key to unlock the answer.
For what lies behind surely.
Is the way to rebuild.

It's there, beyond.
Just out of reach.
All you have to do is fight.
For the life you should have.

Fight for the knowledge of good.
Keep running towards a destination.
Not far now.
You're there.

Finally.
Hope.
Can.
Live.
