Fate Doesn't Cast a Shadow

These shadows are tall. Stretching out across my mind. The sun is low, a sunset. But why not a sunrise? If I turn around to face the light, will tonight become the passing day? Set to reverse and then to replay. My heart jerks the chord out from the wall, and still, it shines. It lives and breathes and burns with love. Far from gone, but too close to call. So I shout. I yell. And give the finger to fate. I won't except an excuse for giving up. Cause I'm still here, and I'm still smiling. These tears will never sink my dreams.
