Out Of Darkness

I’m so tired of waiting
And weighing me down
Into the swamps of sorrow
Dank and lone
With no one to blame
But my own
Hands tied
Mouth sewn
Eyes shut
Hope broke apart
Like that fearless thing I used
To call my heart

Come out of darkness: light

No more sitting silent
In the dim dark
Shadows of self-doubt
No more bowing out
And down to fear
No more darkness

Out of darkness:

More
Light of love
Light of day
Light of hope
Light of rage to stand
Not kneel
To the great weight of the dark
And tear it out
