You will never fit in

Never will you

Be one of them

Living in a world

That has accepted the norm

Refusing to open their eyes

To see the truth

To accept change

No

You were born

With greatness

Stirring in your bones

Now is the

Time to let it out

To stand strong

In the midst of

Discouragement

Defy the odds

Stand proud

Do what’s right

I raised my voice and sing
Knowing that this time someone will listen,
Maybe they’ll say I was right
For they too will rejoice

In the dawning of a new day!

Today the world  vibrates with the music of our ancestors!
From the far corners of the deep they’ve rejoiced
From the deep depression of their souls they’ve rejoiced
From tears stained with the blood of the innocent they’ve rejoiced
Up from the dust of the earth they’ve rejoiced.
And today, I too am rejoicing

For it’s a new day!

To cast our gaze upon the future
A new era has opened its arms to us,
To be empowered instead of discouraged
To make a difference instead of accepting the norm,
Rejecting the ideology of false believe

We can stop the decay of Society!

From infecting our minds
From rotting away the fabric
Of what makes us strong.
Today we stand proud!
Honoring the tears and the sacrifices of our ancestors
Because of their sacrifice our future is bright, our faith is strong,

Our hearts are alive!

With change that will unite us together
As one soul rejoicing in the dawning of a new day.
With every breath, with every song that
Plays in the heart of those seeking change

Today I will Rise

Indulge my weakness
Feed this fearless hunger
Pour out your heart
Quench this daring passion
Come my love
Disrobe my burning soul
A simple taste of you
Is not enough
Stay and fill this
Sweet ache
That keeps me awake
In the lush
Hours of midnight ©

I will sing for you in the dark corridors
I will sing until your sweet soul is satisfied
I will sing for you
Through radiation and exhaustion
I will sing for you
When the needles bite into your flesh
Bringing you just a moment of relief
I will sing ever so softly for you
I will sing for you
When your hair is gone
And you no longer have the strength to carry on
My darling I will sing for you
At four am when the pain is too much to bear
When your bones gave up
And your blood cells can no longer fight
I will sing for you
Through tears and heartache
I will hold your hand
Softly in mine
And I will sing for you
When your final breath
Eclipsed the daybreak
Granting you the peace you so deserve
I will be beside you
Singing sweetly, softly and tenderly
When you are laid to rest
And your pebble white gravestone is all I see
Even then and into eternity my love
I will sing for you

Her scars
Blood red
Memories pooled
Deep inside her soul
She watched in pain
The embers of fire
Never healed
Puncture wounds
Opening over and over
And again she searched
For the sourced
The Sanguine Ink
The only remedy
That can restore
And still the fire within
