I surrender my hands go up Against the wall I lean Fears, anxieties, pains and past hurts Surface to taunt me What must I do Where can I go My mind searches for the answer People coming and going Passing and bumping No one sees me No one hears me Even though their right here with me My mind says Your in it alone No one cares So why shouldn't you risk it all But far away stood a being I knew not Strong and fierce was He I heard my mother say He would be there When I could no longer stray I saw his hand reach out to me With a strong softness He beckoned for me Those fears that taunted me held my feet like chains But I knew if I did not move He would leave And I would be forever lost Among the multitude in solitude
