The Heart
Is heavy
With Emotions
Unspoken
The Mind
Is sick
With Thoughts
Unheard
The Soul
Is broken
With Dreams
Unfulfilled
How can you
Have Courage
When you don't even
Have Hope
How can you
Have Strength
When you don't even
Have Confidence
How can you
Trust others
When you don't even
Trust yourself
Step by step
Day by day
Life will find a way
Do you know what it’s like
To be shrouded in Darkness
For so long
That you had Forgotten
What it was like to See?
We are Blind
In many ways
To Truth
To Ourselves
To Others
These Doors we form
Within our Mind
To Lock away
The parts of Ourselves
We don't want to See
No matter how hard we try
To deny what we are
The Doors will always be there
Reminding us of what we've
“Forgotten”
So when we’ve finally decided
That we’ve had enough
Pretending to be
Something we're not
We open the Doors
And we find
That these parts
Of Ourselves
Are not so different
From Us
When we learn to accept
Who we truly are
We learn to se
When the blind see
And the deaf hear
When the mute speak
And the broken walk
Some things are temporary
Others are forever
Some things are left to chance
Others are inevitable
Sometimes those we wish to Save
Are the ones we end up hurting the most
Sometimes we lose ourselves
In hopes no one will ever find us
If there is one constant in Life
It is that Man will always
Betray his Brother
Man will always seek
To further his own goals
To satisfy his own Desires
Man believes he has a Destiny
And will stop at nothing
To achieve it
Those who run from this reality
Are as blind as those who made it
We are as much the Hero
As we are the Villain
This is the Gift
I give to you
I call it Life
Do with it
What you Will
But know
It is more valuable
Than you could ever Imagine
This is the Gift
I give to you
I call it Love
Treat it with care
And it shall guide you
Throughout the ages
This is the Gift
I give to you
I call it Hope
It is the Flame
That will burn
In even the Darkest of nights
These are the gifts
I have given to you
There is no debt
To be repaid
No score
To be settled
You have given me
The greatest Gift of all
It is called
Happiness
May the Earth rise to your feet
May the Wind blow at your back
And when days are Dark
And full of Sorrow
May the Light shine brightly
Come the Dawn of tomorrow
There was a Time
When I would do anything
To Protect those I Love
I would Fight for them
I would Die for them
I would Sacrifice everything
I had no Regret
No remorse
No Sorrow
No matter how hard I try
I cannot save you
I cannot keep my promise
My Heart is weak
My Soul is weak
I can no longer Love
I can no longer Hope
The mighty Fire
That lights the Darkness
Is burning out
Embers going cold
I tried, in vain,
To carry the world
I loved you
I failed you
I left you
Forgive me
Forget me
I was Lost
Gone astray
Far from the beaten path
The thick of the forest
Swallowing me whole
Suffocating
My own mind
Tearing itself apart
Sowing the seeds
Of my destruction
And then
From the underbrush
Came forth a Bear
Long in snout
And fur like snow
Its onyx eyes
Offered only my reflection
It stared at me
Waiting for a response
Then it turned
As if something new
Called out to it
Without prompt
I followed
Wishing to leave
That desolate place
There was no sound
Save the rustling of leaves
Dancing in the Wind
And the soft crunch
That came with every step
Minutes passed
Maybe hours
Time was void
I found myself
At the face of a cliff
It
The Heart
Is heavy
With Emotions
Unspoken
The Mind
Is sick
With Thoughts
Unheard
The Soul
Is broken
With Dreams
Unfulfilled
How can you
Have Courage
When you don't even
Have Hope
How can you
Have Strength
When you don't even
Have Confidence
How can you
Trust others
When you don't even
