The Siege

In remembrance of my friend Joshua Tabares

On the days when you find yourself treading water
On the days you find you can scarcely breathe
If you can find it in you... I beg you to reach
Reach beyond the walls that barricade your fortress
Reach out for a hand to hold through the seemingly endless night
I know it isn't easy, but I plead you... continue to fight
Fight against the self doubt that seeks to tear you down
Fight until you find a hold to reach higher ground
I know you're tired... I am too, but if you can, please, try
I'd try for you
