Don't submit to the grieving
While the cost is great
We must refuse to regret choices
For it was destiny
Not fate
We own our lives
Not the circumstances
There will be times we have no chance
Do not accept guilt
For choosing what was forced upon us
Do not accept questions about justice
Sometimes there is no escape
I refuse to forget that my life is my own
Even when wounded
I cannot be responsible for the acts of others
So I will not mourn
When the darkness smothers hope
