Overcome

Cast into hatred by all I’d seen I blinded myself to escape disease Then numbness commanded this lost machine And all that was left was what could have been Searching for gold I could not decide Why to be when what’s left is a frightened lie This paradox threw me beneath the sky And above holy ground I then realised Born into silence I witnessed hate Overcome by the violence to then sedate Emotions examined to then relate To recapture the moments we witness fate Writing; redeeming to improve sight To examine my fears will give birth to flight The past turns to future, and overnight My wings have expanded to gather light Cast into beauty by all I know With a vision connected to every soul And a memory that proves that we can all grow And that beyond every fear our spirit flows
