Beating odds

in the darkest of hours
he chose the darkest shades of gray
to get closest to the gravest
to witness the hardest of day

test the wrath that skies can shower
test the very might of lost cause
strike against the worst thunders
never to back out, stop or even pause

on and on he went, tired to his very bone
sweat gave way to blood, skin turned to stone
lost conscious of his body, mind began to wane
sensations lost ground, every breath insane

finally turned around did he, more so to marvel
at the very idea of existence, having found it swell
for it took a lot of persistence, hard headed-ness to merit
the magnificence his life was, the moments he'd ought to cherish

Feelings don't change. You just get strong enough to overpower what once overpowered you.
