What benefit do I gain
From turning around or hanging
My head below the ground?
What Can I gain if my mind
Is not sound and sure on the
Path I am taking? And who said
This journey was going to be easy?
Or that someone would understand?
Who said that I would always have
The Ace of Spades in my hand?
Why do I always expect the
Worst to happen instead of the best?
And why do I feel like I am
Unprepared to take every test that
Is set before me? I will never get anywhere
If I never gear up to run. And why should
I be deterred by the heat of the Sun or
The sweat on my brow? Even when the odds
Are stacked against me, I must go on anyhow.

If I have to walk alone, then
Walk alone I must-For I must not
Be swayed or trust the words of
Those not in my shoes. I know who
I am now and I know what I must do,
I have to keep going, no matter what.
