She goes to speak;
     no-one around to hear.
Cries out in the dark;
     except nobody knows.
It's a simple start;
     one filled with fear.
Just one step forward;
     feet stumbling there.
Asking what happened;
     memories become clear.
She was brave and bold;
     then he was here.
I wrote a chapter today about the traumas of my past. Figured I'd also share a word here. <3

They asked her
Why she never sleeps.
She returned,
Have you ever seen me weep?

Stuck like glue,
my heart is blue.
Moving right on,
if staying is a con.
Is it me or you,
might to be time to choose.
Can't bear the thought,
how hard we've fought.
Must live true,
though sometimes blue.
Can we soar,
what are we waiting for?
Don't hold me down,
if you don't wish to drown.
You must grow,
so that we may flow.
Through the air,
we could thrive right there.
Is it me, is it you, that's not being true.
Are we meant to be,
oh I can't see.
So I'll start right here,
and hope that you draw near.
Still I must see,
the missing pieces in me.

The chill in the air,
Breeze through my hair
You feel it too
Don't you?

A new dawn rises;
With its surprises
Let go of your fear
Change is here

I'm hurt, but I'm healing.
I'm happy and I'm sad.
The wind calls me, dear.
These roots plant dreams here.
I can't say I'll stay forever.
I'll run if you'll go there.
Home is where the heart is.
Mine, is his.

Finding myself wanting to drive for hours
Moving along, lost on old windy roads
Nowhere in mind, that I need to be
Just searching for something, maybe in me
As I travel along, my mind spinning wheels
Why is it, love, that I wonder where you are
I turn the key, move forward in motion
Gotta get somewhere, anywhere and fast
I know that I'm running, from myself I believe
Trying to outrun the simplest of memories
Oh, but they follow so very faithfully
So I take a break, marvel up at the stars
Losing myself in the music, the cool night air
I fall gracefully, a beautiful masterpiece
I'll never lose all that you inspired in me
I get back in, let my heart steer the car
And wonder of all wonders, I'm at your door
Would you let me in, just for a moment or two
Hear my dreams and beliefs, I would listen to you
I could heal the hurt you see relfected in my eyes
Breathe life into you as you do so for me
Let this passion catch fire, grow with the wind
Could you hold me like this, connect with my soul
Maybe it won't last forever, nothing is guaranteed
If I raise my hand and knock, though
Would you drive with me...endlessly
Sarah Oct 2020
I'm stumbling through the dark
Trying to outrun my misery
Breathing in, screaming out
There's no one listening
Wanting to break away
Knowing the end is nowhere near
Yelling into the dark abyss
A place consumed by fear
They scratch and tear, but I won't bleed
I fall and stumble, but I won't break
Waking up, gasping for air
I realize I'm living my worst nightmare
