Magic Words
Born without a silver spoon,
everything must be earned,
struggle is what I read engraved on this rune,
found walking through a city of hope that has all burned,
Ashes completely cover the pavement like wrapping paper,
on the back of the rune was a quote,
shocked exhale in the cold turned air into vapor,
gasping at the words that someone carefully wrote,
saying in order to live, it must be made clear that you must learn to embrace the struggle
