Day 301 – Hold Your Ground

I write to someone stronger
the words I need to hear
one stranger to another
silent but sincere

girl, I know the struggle
it’s got me hurting, too
I almost took up your sword
in a battle that’s already through

but hold your ground
don’t run away
Rome wasn’t finished in a day
heed warnings
shut your eyes and hear
the truth of quiet times

hold your ground
don’t turn away
Pompeii, too, was destroyed in a day
but you are gonna make it back
to your metropolis someday
