And maybe,
when the time comes,
we can be together again.

The calming breeze passes by
Luring me in, soaring so high
Drying my tears in every eye
Looking above to the night sky
Saying goodbye with a bitter lie
Catching my breath as I deny
Perceiving everything in my mind's eye
Wistful belonging as I sigh

I, a trapped spirit tried to break free
To break away from my own prison cell, my body
To break away from these shackles pulling me back to where I started, my own thoughts and insecurities
To tell the truth about a situation
To seek justice for myself
Is that wrong?
To speak for the people who need justice?
To voice out what most people cannot admit?

So many questions but one stands out
So many answers, a question of doubt
What are these feelings?
These deeply scarred wounds
These bottled feelings
scared to be expressed
Suffering alone in darkness
Loneliness unfolds

Saw a blinding light filled with joy
I'm rushing back to it
Reaching my hand out
Seeking for justice and hope
It shines brightly, blinding my sight
I thought I could catch up to it
But it is to far away
I did best to reach out and see
And finally, I came out of the darkness
Out of my misery

Why am I scared?
I'm awake at night
thinking if you cared
Am I right?
For leaving you hopeless
With the words left unsaid
Unseen messages
My thoughts fill into dread
No one to turn to
No one to lean on
I don't know what to do
But I, will see you anon

The world stays gray
Leaning towards the light, you say
In silence, your words convey
In mind, body, and soul, you lead the way

The world changes hue, your colors still stay
From gray to yellow, the colors display
In sadness, doubt, and fear, you relay
Guiding us, you show us ideas and portray

here you lay, your body then stays
Your guidance lightens our burdens and makes way
Our future, our past, as a role model you display
Don't lead us astray, for we need your statements today

The smiles in child's faces,
The laughter in my mother's eyes,
The bright golden sunrays hitting my dark brown hair,
Everybody painted the streets bright yellow,
But you painted it an unfamiliar ,summery, golden yellow.
