Inside this room

Just because you can not grasp it
Doesn’t mean it can’t be real
Despite the bargains that you make
Willing to beg belie and steal
Your narrow-minded observations
Leave a black hole of desire
Your world could fit inside this room
Devoid of heart igniting fire
I’ve learned that love can be enough
That stars can pierce the darkest night
That it can all be worth the wait
When you are finally bathed in light
Don’t live and die here in the dark
Never opening your eyes
Never knowing who you are
Just more untruth behind the lies
Time is too short to take a guess
You see, your heart already knows
And when you trust your true desire
The way ahead just softly glows
Incomplete

I need to rise above the clouds
I need to see it, breathe it in
I need to feel alive again
Before my soul stretches too thin
This here is not all I can be
My mind, my heart, it aches for more
I refuse to reach the end
And wonder what it all was for
Like it or not, I AM my heart
I can no longer drown it out
But I look at what is past
And everything is lost in doubt
I can not be consumed by pain
I can not settle for this hand
I want to know that it’s ok
To fly not knowing where I’ll land
There is so much left unexplored
I feel so small, so incomplete
I want to change the world, my world
I can not fold, admit defeat
I need to set the dark on fire
To make a change, to be fulfilled
To have a voice, a gift, a reason
To heal, inspire and rebuild
I feel it churning deep inside
Just burning, screaming to be free
Despite the fear, no turning back
It’s time to fly, it’s time to see
The void

At first the fear catches my breath
The emptiness is like a shroud
I feel like nobody could hear me
Because the silence is so loud
Colour ceases to exist
It isn’t black it isn’t white
I can’t tell if I stand in darkness
Or if I’m blinded by the light
But suddenly I realise
That I am safe, that I am free
Of all the fear, of all the pain
The outside world has offered me
I scream my questions to the void
But the reply comes from my heart
“You have the strength, you can’t give up
And you have known that from the start”
Her voice is calm and powerful
Now it brings me to my knees
“I don’t know how to keep on going
Loan me your strength and help me please”
She says “Let go of all that binds you
Follow your heart, it’s who we are
And each and every time you need me
Just reach inside, I won’t be far
Accept sometimes there are no answers
No line between what’s wrong and right
Don’t lose your faith, it’s all we have
How can you win if you won’t fight?”
It washes over me in waves
I know I’ll find the strength…somehow
Although I know I can not stay here
It is my sanctuary for now.
