I will not
Break open
At the slightest touch

I will not
Falter
On the broken steps

I will not
Cry
When it all goes wrong

I will not
Shiver
When the cold
Reaches my core

I will not
Fall
When a cliff emerges

See the light
Reach my eyes

See my lips move
To the rhythm
Of the music

See the pain
Stop at the door
And turn around.
