Gazing back at the shores as my battleship burns.

There’s no turning back now my bridges have been burned.

Reminiscing on how I got here and all it took.

Edging forward to my future and my soon to come new look.

It is amazing all we take for granted;

When all we ever wanted or needed we already have it.

I should have been dead, I should have never made it.

If I was a cat my nine lives were shot from birth.

 

Everything I am and hope to become is because of you.

 

Many say I’m on a suicide run but you died for me so I will live for you.

I’ve made up mind and I’m sticking with my choice.

There is no way out and quitting has never been a choice.

I’m moving forward fighting with everything I’ve got.

I have lost a few battles but the war is on your clock.

In the midst of all of this chaos on the horizon, I see your son;

And I know, I know the war has been won.
