I
Have felt
Your trembling
Soul
Caress me
In veiled,
Impenetrable
Recesses
I
Myself
Cannot reach
I
Have felt
Your trembling
Soul
Caress me
In veiled,
Impenetrable
Recesses
I
Myself
Cannot reach
I’m throwing myself off this ledge
I’m going to do my best to fly
And if I crash
It’s nothing worse than I’ve already felt inside.
I’m going to get back up and climb to the top
Cuts and bruises on my hands
I’ll stand proud and strong and close my eyes
Not knowing where I’ll land.
Because I’ve let go of all my fear
I’ve found a strength I’ve never known
I thought I was going crazy
But I’m only heading home.
To dance,
To sing,
It’s in her memory.
One step,
One sway,
A little more each day.
There was a time the life in me had died.
Shriveled up
Slithered away
In shame and defeat.
It moved out
While I was distracted
Surviving.
Little did I know,
A solitaire bud of hope had remained
Hidden
In the dark.
In a shadowy recess of my soul.
Little did I know.
Little did I know.
