Unknot

Carry the burdens
Too long
Not knowing when 
To give up

Especially there is nothing
Worth keeping
No reason to fight for it

Showering me 
Nothing but pain
Embedded in me
Driving my anger so wild

But they are already gone
Probably shifted to another place

Why I am still holding onto them
That was the question
Circulating in my mind

Sleepless nights
Voices talking to me
Disturbing images

No longer feeling
Just there
But not here

The turning point
Wanting to change
As my heart and eyes
Being exposed 
With God's Holy Light

Realising
The illusions
Feeding with trauma and violence
Too much
Been in that field 
Way too long

Releasing heavy tears
Closing my eyes
Throwing away
Out of my way

Light in my heart
Airy steps
Soul revives

Scars 
The aftermath
From trials and obstacles

Bruises
Now may still hurts
But knowing these will heal

Going to sleep
Simple smile
Opening new day for me
Closer to happiness
