Forgotten things

Important things

Friction

There is no better reason to not do something
There is no better reason to try
There is no better reason to fight
Against tyranny and strife

But it can bring great joys
In the darkness of the night

And so I live with friction
And so I live with what is hard
And so I live with what I love
But I stay upon my guard
