Fortitude forges itself

picking hidden locks
knowing self is the true goal
authenticity

Inundated blood
Saturated atmosphere
Thought evaporates

Vastness of the world
Existence is all we know
Inherent bias

Incubating blood
Ferocity of this world
Pride is delicious

Surviving ourselves
Seeking freedom from Nature
Only brings despair

Wishing ain't working
Fortitude forges itself
Inside all mistakes

Hearts can't reconcile
Willingness is all we have
Please keep showing us

Human hearts and minds
Abandon your politics
As they've done to you

Identity lies
Overcoming unknown hells
Blood tells us our name

Nature teaches heart
Power isn't relative
Lightning doesn't judge

Sharing sorrow bonds
Death and Love pull us towards truth
Photographs concur

humans shaping space
cannot purge our future pain
purifying homes
