By: James Aitchison

Are you to save them all?
Are you to carry every burden?
Know that every man is
able to save himself,
should he choose to.
Every man must conquer
his own path.
The barriers facing him
are not yours to remove.
Is there no mercy?
Are there no exceptions?
Every soul struggles
for the light.
It is human will.
To know you are strong,
whilst knowing you are frail,
means you have seen your soul
at last.
