Loyal Cause

At dawn's soft rise, I stand alone,

With purpose wholly my own.

No broken trust, no fleeting ties,

Just the steady gaze of my own eyes.

I’ve seen the world turn, people stray,  

Watched promises crumble, drift away.  

But this path I walk, carved from my core,  

Is a bond that won’t fracture anymore.  

Loyal only to my dreams,  

No betrayal in what they mean.  

They won’t wander, they won’t fall,  

They answer every whispered call.  

Through storms of doubt, in winds of pain,  

I stay with them, they keep me sane.  

For this cause I’ve found is tried and true—  

It won’t cheat, it won’t undo.  

So here I stand, in quiet pride,  

With nothing more than me inside.  

I rise again, unbroken, free—  

Loyal only to my cause and me.
