This is for the worn down.
This is for the broken.
This is for the lost and hopeless.
This is a source of light and hope,
A way to let you know you'll break away.
There is a way out,
A reason to live,
A dream worth shooting for.
Every wish is worth making,
Like every hope is worth having.
Even with those you can escape,
Just close your eyes and believe.
Keep you dreams in your heart and you'll get your shot.
As long as you don't give up there is not losing.
This is for the beaten.
This is for the hurt.
This is for the fighters, putting their all in life.

The author's comments:
I wrote this as a way to inspire myself as well as others, that no matter what you are, have, or will go through, it'll be worth it in the end. As well as to never give up or lose faith.
