I'm grateful to be here,
to see the vanquished cities as they propagate the vast expanse,
To hold my heart in a ***** jar with the wounded still crying out
I am grateful to breathe this air,
To see the tarry streets as they grip on my lost feet,
To see the fire as it's quenched with mortar
I am grateful
Grateful for everything, and everything I wish I could have saved; it made me a better man, losing it all and a piece of my soul
