"Hiding Within" Smothered in the dark Struggling to breathe Pain and dispair My black eyes seethe How did i get here What have i become My heart racing My body gone numb Not knowing if i'll get back To the other side Walls around, built within Forced to run and hide "Reality Check" I see a tunnel Standing in my way No light to see No night, no day An echoing flutter An icy breeze Choking my lungs Like a living disease The thunderous roar Pounding a steady beat My pale, numb fingers Clenching the seat As light comes, i look and see A sunken face scarred with pain Staring into my own hardened eyes In the window of this train "Our Future, Our Fate" How are we free? Truly are we? When we are judged and accused; In fear of being beaten and abused. How are we without chains? How can we just ignore these pains? When to us OUR government lies; Hiding all their secrets and spies. How can we be so blind? How can we hide the truth in our minds? While against clear wrongs we will not fight; Afraid of not being "in the right"! Why wont we stand up and speak? Shout from every valley, every mountain peak! When will we remove the scales and see? What will our future be? "The Risen, The Fallen" Some of us were meant to fly Meant to soar Meant to be great Meant to be more While the rest of us Are meant to fall Walking around aimlessly Having lost it all “Escape by the Moonlight” The moonlit sway Drawing me near Stealing away My worries and fears My feet sinking in the sands As our fingertips meet A smile curling her lips A miracle so sweet Slipping away Off the crest of this shore To sail away forever Together evermore |
