How do you hold on to what is right?
How do you stop them from extinguishing your light?
How do forget and not bemoan?
-When they threw the last stone.
How do you keep things from falling apart?
How do you forgive, and create a new start?
How do you pretend that all is well?
-When they dragged you through their hell.
Is it time to close the door?
Is it time to demand more?
Is it time to end the charade?
-You must do it. You must be brave!
