Searching For the Light
As the sun sneaks into my bedroom,
I hear the birds chirping,
Chirping so happy as if life is good.
Their greeting to a new day.
All I want is to leave this place.
All I want is to feel their happiness,
Their ability to love but most of all,
All I want is to have a new life.
A new beginning,
Perhaps even a new identity,
To make myself over and escape this life.
I feel abused,
I'm unable to fight back.
I am so tired of fighting,
But I have a plan for the future.
They say it's almost time.
I have to trust them.
I have to trust someone.
I need to find that light.
Searching, Searching,Searching.
Looking up into the eyes of the,
One I trust the most.
My heart, my soul, my life.
I see her hand and I grab it,
As if it is my lifeline,
Then she holds me close,
Never letting me go and
All I hear is Let's go home.
