Oh, there is something!
Something that shakes my spine.
Something that pumps blood to my heart,
something alive in this body of mine.

Oh, can you feel it coming?
Can you picture the prisoners breaking free?
Can you hear the children's laughter?
Can you see the monsters flee?

Oh, it is rising!
Rising from deep inside of me.
Something that is yellow,
something that could set me free...

Oh, how exciting!
When you think you've seen some light,
Though it is dim and far away,
It is still within my sight.

No, I'm not sick of fighting,
but I'm sick of falling on my knees.
Now nature is showing me it's beauty
and magic is calling out to me.

Oh, can you hear them calling?
Can you see the Angels of the Seas?
They float atop the violent waves,
they carry the ocean's breeze.

Oh, I've stopped my crying.
The wound in my side no longer bleeds,
I see shooting stars falling
to grant the wishes our souls need.

So, I'm not lying
when I tell you I'm doing okay.
Though it hasn't been too easy,
I'm still breathing for a new day.

Oh, how hard I'm trying!*
To fight for those four letters.
I've been battling for courage, strength and beauty...
For hope to make me better.
Today, I am happy that what is on my mind is the message of hope.
After a series of heavy poems, I hope you find this refreshing.
