The Earth Hangs Loose

On this heightened autumn
I break free
And all of me hangs loose
The ribs of my body
They crack harder than the earth
To fight and to die for this truth

For the darkest hours
Through the pain, sweat, and heat
In the heaviest showers
I will not admit defeat
There can be no limit
For the lengths I will go through
Cause every time I close my eyes
I see you

Holding fast this hope
I collapse
This grass reminds of my youth
Scream, I scramble
I thought I'd made it somehow
But the path I'm on now
No longer looks like a trail

I am blessed
And just in case I give all my gifts away
Words go unspoken
I must rely on actions to say

For the darkest hours
Through the pain, sweat, and heat
In the heaviest showers
I will not admit defeat
There can never be a limit
On the lengths I will go through
Cause every time I close my eyes
I want you

I'm so tired. Got to find what works. Passion precedes execution. I just know dearly what I want - with no luxury of a plan I can rely only on luck, hard work, and confidence. None of those alone can get you where you need to be without the others. Days feel so long.
