Like withered sheets of empty canvas,
we gamble to fill up the gaps and spaces of nothingness.
We try to paint towers of blues with hopes for better tomorrows that held no clue.
Like broken bones and broken hearts,
no matter how fragmented and shattered,
we always stand up and continue.
We aren't born royalties, but I know for sure that we're born soldiers who conquer–
too brave to be a coward.
We are born to voyage across our own oceans of self-doubt and fears.
