"All is lost", I hear myself say;
I lost my character, I sold my soul;
I emptied myself from within and without;
I let myself sleep, the sleep of the dead.
"No. It is not", I hear him say;
Extricate yourself from this web of dis-illusionment and believe;
Believe in yourself, believe in a universal truth;
Pick yourself up from the dirt, dust yourself, make the choice;
Look down and see your shadow or look up and challenge the sun;
Dare to hope, dare to fight, against the devil himself, if need be;
Chest thrust out, stride with confidence to tryst with destiny;
Mark a new chapter in your book of life, a new dawn, a new beginning, a new millennium.
