On the roads laden with fear  
I walk along with my tears  
Calloused hands barely making sense  
There's no pretense.

These nights just don't seem to end  
Like a painter's canvas bereft  
Listening to the heart is the hardest  
These storms just don't want to subside.

I see pieces of me drift from sight 
Drowning bruised dreams in the light 
I carry on with effervescence 
Along with humility and perseverance.
