If I Perish, I Perish
“When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish." – Esther 4:16 My life has been an endless series of kicking down death's door Of swallowing mouthfuls of pain And asking for more Of dizzying heights and tearful goodbyes Beloved ruins and empty delights Time and time again I have defied death With a broken heart and scattered breath I jumped off a ledge with nothing To cushion my fall And I will do it all over again... For nothing purposeful has ever been easy
