LISTEN,
Open up your ears!
Your heart is SCREAMING,
But you've been deaf for years
You did everything to make yourself forget
the little voice you cast away,
Deep within
the shadows of your heart
But she's screaming ****** ******!
She is REFUSING to continue on
Living this lie
For when the truth stealthily creeps up on her again,
She can't help but cry
For the lies are treacherous demons that keep her from sleep
But the truth is light like a halo, wrapping around her head,
Giving her wings, lifting her off her feet

Listen,
For you know who you are,
Under the trauma
There still lives a girl with a loving heart
Who loves herself and loves the world
Who makes crowns of wildflowers
And creates stories of whimsical fantasy
Can you still taste the long forgotten majesty
Of a life lived from your heart?

Clothed in sheer scarves of glitter,
No need for vices to clog the passageways of her mind
She opens to the brilliant possibilities
The uncertain future offers her
Embraces the ever changing winds
And clings to no avail,
To the ever shifting river waters
She looks out upon a cliff
At the world below her,
Her glasses are not rose tinted,
But tinted with infinite hues,
Like the rainbow
She
Perceives that
This world is not
Good or bad
Beautiful or ugly
But so many things,
On one little planet
So many different, infinite possibilities,
Being played out
Upon the surface
Of this blue and green
Oasis.

*so go with the flow,
and follow
the call
of that little voice
deep within your heart
River
