Loki is a Hero

.

Not good enough, not strong enough

No, never enough, nor ever will be

But the struggle to reach, to try, is there

In the ever present beat

The rhythm of blood, of life

To keep going, without hope of arriving

For stopping is impossible

Not unthinkable, for there are fantasies

Of giving up and laying down, of letting go

But it is not that simple, not that easy

Stubborn creature that won’t give in

Fighting even when there is nothing left to fight for

Clinging, clawing, broken nailed, desperate and tired

One more breath, one more hour, one more day

The beast wants to live, knows no dream of peace

No belief in the unseen, it holds to what it has

This moment, pain wracked, grief torn, real

More desired than gossamer visions

One more breath, one more step,

One more night, one more dawn

One more hope
