Behind the eyes,
That tell such lies.
Does she despise,
The life she hides?

When she does think.
Of the life that she keeps,
The claws they sink,
Into her skin deep.

She severs ties.
She's lost,
She's cried.
Does she abide,
Behind the eyes?

Let us all rise,
and fight our inner demons,
ones that threaten to smother us completely.

Let us all fight,
and finish our wars,
and become survivors.

Let us all live,
our own lives,
shared with others we care about.

I'm calling all you out,
who are fighting your own battles,
and I'm saying to come join me,
and fight,
and survive.

Rise to this call of action,
and help others who are struggling.
We will all fight,
and,
We will all win.

...and I never did learn to fly
   always trying to take flight
came close a time or two,
  could never quite get off the ground
wings were clipped as a fledgling
       stories written on caged walls
echoed, yet there were no lyrics to sing
   without a voice on a prayer
plummeted to  abysm's bottomless pit
    till I could feel no more
there in the dark stillness lie the secret
          rhythm and music filled the air

Found the poetry within my soul
realized the wings were in my heart
all along, I was meant to dance
