I don’t know why
It takes what it does
Reaching a precipice
Before change
Chaos and pain
The collateral damage
Such a toll
Perhaps
In the end
It’s worth it
Lessons so powerful
The cost is high to all
Even the innocent bystander
These people
My friends
I do not deserve them
They believe in a man
I do not believe exists
Yet they insist
Now
Somehow
I survived
When so many better did not
I stand
Scarred
Bloodied
Bruised
In the measure
Of it all
The weight
Upon me
To be worthy
Of their belief
Their faith
To accept the man
They believe me to be
