"Hey you, you know me
set me free /
Hey you ,
you stay away from me!"

Thoughts are falling in this void
Mind is finding pain, defeat,
Past is sounding oh, so sweet
Everything just looks destroyed.

But feel it wise, please look inside
It's tenderness that you will find
It's part of you, how much you gave
It takes a lot to be this brave.

Before you come to a conclusion
About this taste of an illusion,
Think hard and try to feel it too,
T'was part of me, and part of you,
And it was real, it's how we grew.

Forget not how to bear a smile,
If only for a little while
Bring out all that you have in you,
Just bring it out because it's true.

And then you'll see what inside lays
The love, the care, your highest self
The tender light that holds itself
To speak to you about this phase.
We all must learn to walk this maze.

You arent't wrong, you're not condemned
Like most of us you are just broken,
Words and feelings left unspoken
Haunt your hope. It's not the end.
Once more, it's true, you will ascend.

You're not less now, but even more,
There is no need for punishment
Your true self is innocent
Your wings are folded, but they'll soar.
You'll learn a new way to adore.
You'll reach for peace and trust, once more.




"Only the ladder is real."
