Erase

Erase:

Surrounded in the dark, the people stand
Hear the voices in there head
Yelling the words to pretend
Empty there toxic thoughts
Unscramble all of there pain
Find the day in the light
Remove the invisible stain

In this time, in this moment still
Find the answers holding on
Fill the voids pulling you in
See the walls fall beneath 
Grab the ground below
Be among the few
Begin a new day, just as you.

Thunder showered in a storm
Rain drops swallowing you whole
Tearing through the current 
The tide dragging through the sand
See the rise above
Reaching for a hand
On your knees and stand

Moments with complications
Days with painful time
Fear lying in the arms of truth
Silenced in the eyes of another’s path
Words sharpened with a voice
Taking the difference in front
Stop and make a choice

In this time, in this moment still
Find the answers holding on
Fill the voids pulling you in
See the walls fall beneath 
Grab the ground below
Be among the few
Begin a new day, just as you.
