Out Of Darkness

I’m so tired of waiting

And weighing me down

Into the swamps of sorrow

Dank and lone

With no one to blame

But my own

Hands tied

Mouth sewn

Eyes shut

Hope broke apart

Like that fearless thing I used

To call my heart



Come out of darkness: light



No more sitting silent

In the dim dark

Shadows of self-doubt

No more bowing out

And down to fear

No more darkness



Out of darkness:



More

Light of love

Light of day

Light of hope

Light of rage to stand

Not kneel

To the great weight of the dark

And tear it out
