Lifeline

We are part of a world

that I don't belong in.

Barely able to keep our

heads above the cocktail

of spiraling emotions I created.

We seek for evidence

that I have a place.

One where we can

make a change that

will better my future

and those who follow.

We try to envision

the path we are meant

to walk, but I find it hard

to look past my dark reflection

in my tainted mirage.

We hurt because we

have to.

I hurt because I

want to.

We fear of letting go

of the familiarity.

I feel it grounds me,

keeps me from disappearing.

We let fear cotrol

our minds from flourishing.

I have yet to know

what it is to be free.

Our troubles, our pain

My demons, my ways

We bow to our knees

asking for answers from above.

I push to know what

and why before they are meant to be.

Patience is our lesson

to let our path find us.

I will wait for the right

moment for my future to unfold.

Fight to find our way

of keeping ourselves active.

I work towards a new

way to help love and heal.

Learn when to wait.

Learn when to fight.

We belong even if it's

not in our sight.
