When the fire
Has burned
And the ice
Has melted
What sits 
In your soul
What makes the 
World go round 
Who are you giving
The chance
To work 
Their way back
These cogs
Need oil
These spokes
Need constant
Repair
The bitterness
That rests
Deep within 
Is only a mirror
Of your outlook
Honesty comes cheap
Happiness is a hat
You can wear 
Or crease 
These battles
Aren't battles 
At all
Just a matter 
Of perspective 
Look after 
Your skin
Wear it with pride
And don't wait
For the sun
To set 
Whilst moaning about
Missed opportunities
You know your 
Challenge
And there's no
Buckets of 
Cold water 
Involved
If you need to
Wake up
Shake off
The dream dust
And face the day
And all that it brings
Then do it again
And again
And if you need
To smile
Once in a while
It won't break 
Your face 
But it might shatter
The disillusion
You fought so hard
To pretend
Wasn't
There
