Out of Despair

Out of the silence, out of the dark,
away from despair, a slow desperate walk.
Too long in the numbness, too long in the pain,
too many days lost, in a drugs novocaine.
So many tears held, afraid to be wept,
opaque walls of sorrow, where secrets are kept.
So many words left, unspoken now lost,
so much spirit broken, what measure the cost.
But the heart is refusing, to beat now in fear,
It begs to the soul, shed a tear, shed a tear.
Cry for the madness, the demons are bared,
now they are known, they run from you scared.
Out of the silence, out of the dark,
away from despair, a slow desperate walk.
Back into being, back into light,
scarred but not broken, eyes wet with sight. |
