We have learned how to reject what was dearest to us, <br />And how to accept what we stood against, <br />That all was without cost, that only things accepting, <br />and to our appeal did we notice and delight in.' <br />But now we see the price, <br />and only things debilitating and of a conflict to us <br />do we hear or talk about to our disgust. <br />Our warm; tenderness has turned <br />to cold; hardness. <br />We cared not for our own souls, <br />but now we look for survival. <br />Euphoria was Utopia. <br />And feelings were forever. <br />But now, though, we have conquered our fears, <br />our emotions haunt us. <br />And to die with sanity and dignity would now be our only goal. <br />To die and let live.<br /><br />S.W.
