Ian Petch Poet Lyric

The Cleansing

I compare myself with nothing
Until everything is heard
I then forget what I’m becoming
Until my demons get too scared

And in a feeling that avails me
My patience fades to night
For the coming of your answers
I’ve embittered this sweet light

Darkness overpowers
My memories quake in pain
The dust that comes to settle
Has made my life so vain

I never seem to fight it
I do not know it’s there
But for the light that’s ever shining
I wouldn’t even think to care

Constantly reminded
As the pain is everywhere
And with the feelings that still guide me
It is my hate that’s always heard

Now I compare myself with nothing
Until everything is seen
I know what I’ve become now
But then my answers wipe me clean

Forever understanding
The reminder in my wake
But with the angel growing stronger
I will light up the darker days
