Strong Enough

Are you strong enough?
Can you hold your doubt?
Do you care enough
To take the untamed route?
 
Is your heart beating faster?
Are your muscles tensed for flight?
Did you bring your gun?
That’s the only defense against the night.
 
Have you locked up your loved ones?
Seen to your things and self?
Have you begun to understand?
There’s no such thing as wealth.
 
Are you tired of the lies?
Are you ready to show your skill?
Do you have what it takes…?
Can you kill?
 
The battle is nearly here;
Our road is fraught with danger.
In each apocalyptic street,
Lurks a desperate stranger.
 
Are they a threat?
Maybe, a friend.
Someone’s clean slate;
Yet always, the same old end.
 
Are you strong enough?
Can you control your fear?
Are you ready to feel alive?
‘Cause Mother Nature’s here
…and she’s pissed.
