Pain

Shackles on my Heart,
A rope around my chest,
Acid in my veins

A silent cry escapes my lips,
And I free fall,
down,
down,
To a place where no one will find me

Who will come for my aid?
I will ask for no one!

Stuck is the energy,
In helplessness I wallow,

Alone, so alone I feel
Isolated, locked in a frozen cage

Then, my spirit awakens
a rebellious smile flowers deep from within,
Aha! Never will I give up,
not for one second

I saw a crow yesterday,
Black as the night!
He was One with the wind,
One with the turbulence,
One with Life

So shall I!
let pain come, and leave
let it set the stage for Joy!
