I'm
Breaking through ice,
I
Grasp for land;
For
Air does not suffice,
What's
Needed is a hand.
Please
Hold
Me tight,
Help
Pull
Me up to
Breathe.
As
I
Burst into the light,
I'm
Caught by you; with
Awakened lungs
And
Pacing heart,
I'm
Not done-- too young,
Yet
Ready to fall apart.
I'm
Frozen from
My
Body to speech,
I'm
Blinded by the sun,
Yelling
"Please," my inner voice doth beseech,
"Help," I scream from under
The fallacies within.
Truth creeping, cracking as thunder;
Escape route too thin;
These walls closing in,
Lies growing too wide
Will explode from the bide, will
Not exchange death, but
Replace myself; disguising
The
Truth from outsiders,
I
Sing this thing
Hidden from her to show as his
Lyrics unsung
And
Unseen
Confessions begun
Crashing, thrashing about.
Through and through
The words breaking out
Surface up to you
To
Help you understand,
Reveal the power of a hand as
My
Truth escapes slowly,
And yet quite lowly;
To exemplify my pain, I
Show what does remain.
My time may not be done, as
Youth has still not gone, and
Though I have my life ahead,
I feel as if I should be dead. But
May I fall, may I die,
Be strong, don't ask why;
Young people also have their time,
I have realized,
Know this and hold it close.
Pain is a lifetime overdose.
And
Though these lessons
I have confessed, I
Have many more in store.
Family,
Friends,
I need you to know:
Feel with your heart, let it show;
Empty words never flow.
