Fight Inside

Surrounded by lies, listen to the sound of her breathing.
Haunted by the secrets she keeps, eating at her heart.
Thousands of feet, they all walk by… Never noticing.
The sweet smell of rain, washing away all of the promises.
The frozen air leaves chills on her skin.
Her fingers inch themselves forward.
In her hands, she carries the weight of the world.
Her throat is sore from all of her unheard screaming.
She’s still left alone in the dark.
She needs a light to lead her forward.
She begs her broken lungs to breath, begs her broken heart to beat.
One step forward, and the bitterness disappears.
The rain slows and stops, and the sun shines.
Warmth wraps around her hands.
She is welcomed into the beauty of life.
The weight she feels is lifted, and she’s light enough to fly.
She found her light, standing by her side.
They faced the storm, now they fly away.
