All You Need

Sometimes that little hint of truth

you fight so long to find

that glinting, glimmering treasure

the message and meaning of it all

means so little once you’ve found it

Changes nothing and sheds no light

and all that time and effort

is just wasted in the struggle

Crawling through the wreckage

looking for that shine of hope

Sometimes survival is all there is

Life goes on with or without it

The how’s and why’s juet can’t erase

the pain you felt in finding out

That pain that means you lived through it

just might be all you need
