Now usher in with mirth and song the night,
To stare down death and boldly face the dark
Unknown that lies in shadow. Chase the snark
Within the umbra hid, it is delight.
Why wallow in monotony despite
Man's nature which demands one to be stark.
Resplendent boredom? Won't you make your mark
Upon a world that's cowering in fright?
No Ev'rest must you scale to realize
The strength unlimited within you hid.
The inward battles faced and fought unseen
Far from the jaded gaze and watchful eyes
Of those who would your actions now forbid.
They've no idea the places you have been.
