today.
is the day of great rebellion.
where in the darkness.
one shall stand up.
and walk straight ahead.
not knowing what he might collide with.
but knowing that eventually.
no matter how bruised and injured he may become.
he will emerge out.
into the brilliant light.
and there he will stand.
and look at everything with awe.
for the effort was worth it.
and against all odds he made it.
such is the tribulation of this young man.
for today is the day he fights against his worst enemy.
who is none other than himself.
for in the pitch black surroundings.
where he cannot see his five fingers outstretched.
he will continue to walk.
for today is a day of rebellion.
and a final chance to seek something on higher ground.
just one more time.
one more chance.
is what he has got now.
and that chance he shall use.
with great effort and emotion.
he struggles on.
waiting for that moment.
where he'll come through.
for the light is the day that has gone past.
and the light is the sunrise that is approaching fast.
gone is the emotion of the previous day.
now hope is the only thing leading the way.
walk wherever he might and wherever he may.
the darkness shall always stand in his way.
but with determination and a heart that doesn't give up.
that darkness might relent soon enough.
and clear a path for him to move.
for a ray of light is shining through.
and towards that ray of light he'll go.
should he emerge what a sight to behold.
the sky is filled with the light of the moon.
and within it all that's happened so soon.
and there the man will stare with awe.
his heart will be still and filled one with song.
a song that has captured him through time.
with grace and tragedy it speaks a rhyme.
of love and a pure heart so clear.
that overrides any hate or fear.
and then he comes to realize.
it has been with him all the time.
and he shall treasure it in his heart from now.
for it is by this that he can bow.
and say a word of thanks.
for this is the last chance that he has.
and he shall use it.
