Ledge

We hold to the tree of sanity with finger tips callused and scarred.

We cling to our friends when the dark pulls at our cloths.

Yet, here we stand firm at the brink of destruction and watch.

We stand by as the world burns,

For all the time that we were abused.

It made us strong enough to hold back our laughter as the world burns.

Be aware of us for we are stronger than you think.

Loved beyond measure

and protected beyond words.

We stand at the edge of destruction and laugh,

For who can kill us? We alone can die before we live.

We cling to the tree branches

Watching, laugh for what have we to fear of fire?

Just because we are scared does not mean anything

WE fourged OURSELVES from pain and sorrow.

We the broken, the mocked, the cursed:

Are stronger and braver than you will ever know because we have danced with fire and lived.
