Do
I hear a faint voice from yonder?
Is
it for me, is it for real - I wonder
Should
I pay heed to this call?
Or
do I just go on and bear it all
It
is hard to believe there is help
It
is hard to believe my pain is shared
Time
has layered the heart so much
It
is hard to believe, there is someone after all
It’s
an ember, a tiny piece of light
hidden
deep but shining bright
I
must take the step and save it now
before
it’s gone forever, lost in the folds of night
I
have to fight stigma and despair
Take
this fight to the end
To
be stepped upon or step out sans au pair
It
is a choice I must make and defend
The
voice is now stronger
The
rage is within
It
will get me going
And
give me wings
I
am going to rise and leave behind me
Years
of waste, guilt and self-pity
carry
the scars I will, with pride
for
they are the keepers of my ride
Of
a time when I was lost and alone
Of
a time when future was forgone
A
time like the listless and wandering tart
not
just me, it’s you too, cross your heart
I
am not ashamed of my scars anymore
Look
around, don’t we all carry a few?
Seek
and you shall find many
Rising
from ashes, glowing anew!
Nothing
comes easy, I know
Freedom
not in the least
The
ghouls will shriek, try and break my vow
But
I shall slay the beast!!
