Starve the Fever

This temp is too hot
Fighting off virus
Cuz this is what's not
Just seems too high risk

Kills ones inner dream
By constant silence
Starves loves hope no gleam
Victim of violence

Closed books giving up
Moving forward new
Ones' past saw no luck
Pain repeated through

Life's no easy place
You stabbed me, I smiled
Allowed it, erased
Was it all worth while?

Time and distance cure
The holes that were carved
Refined me to pure
When the fever starved.

I feel this. For me, it conveys deep emotion/introspection one goes through when facing obstacles beyond one's control, and the resilience needed to overcome. Favorite stance: "Time and distance cure / The holes that were carved / Refined me to pure / When the fever starved."

Thanks man. I appreciate it. Resilience is definitely key. Having the strength/will to keep living, and smiling, no matter what. Time and distance provides the cure, in retrospect, things seem to come together and many times you see how those times, indeed, had refined you.
