The Rising
The Rising
It's darker than space here,
Perhaps, there's a light;
A light I cannot see.
It constantly eludes me.
I wish I could start it over again
For words escape me,
Still I look for the meaning,
The meaning of my sorrow,
The sorrow that binds me,
The dilemma that is inside me.
Doubts rise and fall
In the midst of suspicion,
Of faces drowning in the sea
I've taken an oath to find me.
I know I'm not alone,
In this maze of chaos,
The imposters that surround me.
I've taken an oath,
To find true companions
Behind every facade I see.
It's hard to be different,
Even harder to be unique,
The hardest is to be you,
I suppose, my actions fail me.
But I know I'll rise again
Rise, for it's my time
For this is what I was taught to be.
I'll pick up my pen again,
And wage this war against myself,
This rebellion inside me.
I laugh again, heartily, while
My heart burns in flames of joy.
The light that always eluded me
Is in these words I write.
