Life is ugly, luminescent, painful, euphoric, and more difficult than death.

With bravery, resilience, and the memories of past joys, take heart and endure.

Wait for me, for I armor myself slowly through hearts of darkness and hesitant will.

It is night where I am.

Dawn breaks above your head, waiting for me.

I approach faster, but my tread is still slow.

Still I come for you, and under dawn we'll meet, if only a lifetime from now.

Ugly, luminescent.

Painful, euphoric.

Harder than death.

With bravery, resilience, and the memories of past joys, take heart and endure.
