Here's To Us

 here's to us, 

who no longer carry on, 

as though we are special, 

because we know we aren't. 

here's to us, 

who find failure and loss

invigorating, 

but still carry on, 

as if we carry a thousand 

medals. 

here's to us, 

who have embraced

the notion of just being 

just being alive 

in a dreamless stance
