If nobody responds to your frantic calls, proceed to walk alone. Walk alone, march alone - you, alone, complete the journey.

If nobody responds to your frantic calls, proceed to walk alone. Walk alone, march alone - you, alone, complete the journey. If nobody speaks, if they have all turned their backs on you—no matter how deprived you might feel—keep striding forward. Open your heart, articulate every emotion aloud, as you alone reinvigorate yourself.

If they turn back along the darkened path, if they desert you at the time you tread the most treacherous path—despite how ill-fated your life might feel—keep striding ahead, trudging past each thorn under your blood-soaked feet, as you alone arrive at the destination.

In case no one holds a lamp in the dark, turbulent, and thunderous night; in case they all slam their door on you - let your burning resolve ignite your ribs that shine so bright that you alone light up the night.
