Let Us (8/29/2005)

To the faces in darkness that sit with eyes glaring
So frozen and cold in a world that’s not caring
Given shadows for sharing and a heart for the tearing
Crying and broken, you’re zoned out and just staring
With pain inside flaring and flowing so freely
Aching to heal and erase it completely
Complacently bleeding in your sorrow or spite
Refusing to move and start to the light
But, let’s put up a fight and find absolution
Cleansing ourselves from their hateful confusion
Just take their solutions and burn it with fire
Take back your own life and escape from the liars
We need to aspire to find our own meaning
Something we want and not what they’re needing
Silently pleading, we’ve been waiting forever
Let’s patch up these wounds and fix them together
And charge through the weather, veins as a tether
Bleeding out pain to make room for the treasure
The gold of a smile and the warmth of a hug
The simplest of things for which we all lust

So let’s step off their lines and find our direction
All the people here crying, so far from perfection
Take out your crosses and carry them proudly
Shout with your voices, do it so loudly
Let the echos reverb and crack through the walls
Let our cries be a cushion each time that we fall
Marching and fighting as we gasp for each breath
Finding new life in a past that meets death

Back Story: I handled something really well and I really feel a bit energized by it. It’s a trial and definitely not easy, but I’m doing ok. Yeah, I’m doing ok. I hope I can maintain. Hopefully, this poem can maybe inspire others, if even for a few moments.
