Endurance Is Her Name

[Suz-zen]

Endurance was her name
waking failure was a dicey game

with so little to lose in the end
no vengeance was needed for her to suspend

her mask falls in horror
almost naked wearing honor

Endurance was her name
waking in failure a lasting flame

shameful disgust unable to hide
swallowing life's angry pride

warmth of willful fireflies
pulls at her skin
telling the world
to begin again

[Bobby Del Boy]

The flame of endurance may flicker but never die? This is so strongly emotive Suz-zen. It is about whom?

[Suz-zen]

it is for you to decide...

[Suz-zen]

Sounds like you're revisiting the past - but coming out on top. Hope all is well.
