When you can’t love
When you can’t love
When you can’t see
When you can’t walk
When you can’t feel
When you can’t breathe
When you can’t be
And all there is left is surrender
Surrender
And only then
You can love deeper
You can see further
You can walk longer
You can feel stronger
You can be stiller
When the soldier returns from the battlefield defeated
Only then he can learn to live
For only through losing the battles, we can fully embrace the madness and beauty of our humanity
