One day I will raise One day I will clear the shadowed fog which haunts my dreams I will evaporate the cloud which sits on my frail arms One day I will rip the paper which chooses who I am I will slice through the deceiving Ivory sheet, I'll make sure it disintegrates into the ash it came from One day I will break the steel chains which strangle my hope. I will bite through the objectionable links which encase me as their profound prisoner. One day I will be strong. I will be able to drag the burdens and memories to its final destination. I will not cower when I see the odius foul luggage stand tall and scream. I will not amalgamate with delirium as I hear Past's cries. I will persevere. One day I will fix myself. I will be able to stich the lacerations time has caused, I will be able to build the disintegrating building my mind has become. I will be able to paint my soul its luminous halo again. And maybe one day I will raise. I will raise from the fog, the paper, the chains, the past and the pain. I will raise with purity and maybe...maybe if I'm lucky...I will be graced with the simple gift of a smile. *For now I can hope... About what I will do... One day
