Trench Still Smoking

It's lame how people can get you down. Life is hard enough without judgemental, shallow drama-addicts making it worse. I believe what comes around, goes around and that this type of person perpetuates their own misery. I guess it sucks to be colateral damage, especially for children. I was hoping that the worst of the fight was over, but I see smoke in the hills. I have decided "so be it." After the things I have been through, I can take it all. I have people who love me for who I am, which is more than can be said for most of them. If I lose the war, I will find solace in my friends and family. If they lose, they have only their bitterness and self-pity. So I cannot lose. If you're an Enchant fan, you know this song:

You know the heart fuels the mind/Alleviates the grind/Gives reason to strive/Drawing strength from the sky/Knowing nothing is wrong/How sublime a thing it is/To suffer and be strong

Pretty much sums it up for me.
