-for what it's worth-

completely new,
to the game
how can it end
before it even began?

what are the rules?
what's the price?
what if in the end,
all's lost?
who's to blame but yourself?

despite the silent screams
screams of alarm,
we charged
on and on and on,
possessed by an immaculate force
just to turn back to see,
we only succeeded in destroying
nothing but ourselves..

for what it's worth,
what mattered is that we tried
learning to accept defeat
is more difficult
than defeat itself....

walk tall
for you have defeated defeat
tomorrow comes,
forever we will carry the pain
but for what it's worth....
we stayed alive...
we fought for what we believed in,
and we fall....gracefully....
