Musings of a Mongoose - 18. The Path of Perseverance
What does it mean to fight?
To take a breath, breaking free of the water
To refuse to be pulled down to death
To stare the enemy in the eye
To face his callous heart and intentioned hands
And struggle against the grip
What does it mean to survive?
To take a breath, and then another, gasping on the shore
To refuse to let the tide reclaim you
To stare at the ocean of sorrow, and know its depths
To face the crashing waves and suffocating memory
And strengthen your resolve with every heartbeat
What does it mean to endure?
To take a breath, to calm the rage and fear that surges in your bile
To refuse to let the ocean within overwhelm your senses
To stare toward the future path with grim determination
To face the difficult road knowing you have faced worse before
And stride forward from the wreckage of the voyage stolen, now reclaimed
What does it mean to live?
To take a breath at the turning in the road
To refuse to let the rain dampen your spirit
To stare down the one who tried to sink you
To face the demon in the deep who thought to claim your heart
And stab the motherfucker in the face
He doesn't own you.
You do.
Fuck playing by his rules.
That bastard tried to drown you.
You gonna take that shit?
Live. Prove him wrong.
