Praise

Praise me

Praise indeed

Indeed I would

Indeed I could

Could be stronger

Could be better

Better at being

Better than this

This trembling thing

This spirit

Spirit-levelled

Spirit faltering

Faltering fast

Falter at last

Last ditch effort

Last reprieve

Reprieve this time

Reprieve is mine

Mine to bear

Mine to give

Give enough hope

Give enough rope

Rope to hang

Rope to bind

Bind these ideals

Bind these wounds

Wounds weeping

Wounds healing

Healing the pain

Healing again

Again the abyss

Again remiss

Remiss of duty

Remiss in this

This monumental effort

This moment

Moment of doubt

Moment of decision

Decision to move

Decision to prove

Prove I’m alive

Prove I’m able

Able to rise up

Able to be worthy

Worthy of acclaim

Worthy of applause

Applause as praise

Applause for me

Praise

Me
