Rise

Wind in time Rapes the emotions, vacillating within Moments shot down in flames What can I do with these shattered pieces? I've lost my voice, beneath their screams I've been silent Bending backwards till I've been broken, I watch their love go up in smoke Help me rise, stoke the flames that burn When I pray for release Will I rise from the ashes? You can use my anger to see how silence has desecrated my soul use me as a makeshift gauge …for how much I give …for how much I take I can't hold this much longer I've been watching, I've been silent, Watching my life go up in smoke Will I rise from the ashes? When the smoke has vanished When I pray for deliverance I will not hesitate to stand, I will rise without fear.
