Manifesto

You want my turns of phrase, my prayers
sacred secrets I keep to get through my life
When the world seems flat-line terminal
I scream into the silence, fire in my eyes
 
Keep waiting, today isn't when I fall
A single breath, then another, over again
Push on through, keep your head down  
Get it done, walk away and onto the next one
 
Just a second, you think only words
ensure my survival from day to day?
Words are just useless noise without intent
Faith is the catalyst bringing them to life
